Neither HTML, nor CSS are naturally untyped.

Actually, React is not typed enough.

Looking at the mozilla docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/sp...

You can see that eg. <span /> is not allowed to hold all types of elelemts.

How awsome weould it be, if th type system actually captures this.
Good job! This is really cool!

yep, you could describe it like that!
While I'm sure the US military sees the obvious possible logisitical solution for the island chains - and I've read them saying that in the past - that doesn't mean there's something deceitful going on here.

Before you make national security depend on a new, developing technology, and one that is also in limited supply, you give that technology a simpler, smaller mission to try it out and to develop it. That is, they don't want control of the first island chain to depend on Regent Craft all-electric sea gliders quite yet.
Yeah, that's just an extension of what I said. After all, it's not Google/Chrome that's creating this problem - it's Cloudflare and people who buy this service from them, by making the lazy/economically prudent assumption that anyone who has an opinion on how they consume services can be bucketed together with scammers and denied access.

It stems from the problem I described though - blocking you for not using Chrome is just "only illegitimate users don't use Chrome", which is the next step after "only illegitimate users would want to use our API endpoints without starting a business and signing a formal contract with us".

Being in a professional field means being the expert in the room for your area of responsibility. That means being able to translate information into, and out of, the terms of art in your profession.

This is generally considered a "soft skill", but it really should be a recurring part of any technical curriculum.

There are generalizations of the concept- tailoring your message to your audience in public speaking, or charitable interpretation and seeing from another's perspective in debate, but the narrow case of "interpret these requirements and identify problems with them" is a good way to demonstrate an understanding of the domain.

>Property rights are meaningless without a social order that protects them.

Where do you delineate this worldview from a simple extortion shakedown? e.g. your house is more valuable when it isnt on fire and your family isn't dead.

It still leaves the question of what is an appropriate tax to pay for social order? is it 100%?
This feels like a great blend of immersion and repetition. Curious if you’re doing any difficulty adaptation based on content complexity or vocabulary frequency?

If you want an alternative view, I like the confrontational tone. You know what you excel at and attack your competitors with it.

I really dislike how all the other JS UI libraries are basically the same and espouse the same ideas.

Svelte was way better when Rich Harris was straight up attacking react devs at conferences and shaming them for poor performance.

I've never spoken to a self-declared solipsist before, though of course we all act like solipsists to a degree :-). Anyway, I will assume that solipsism is false for the rest of this post, that's another question.

It's amazing how many philosophical debates end up at the question of universals that you've just alluded to.

My own position, very briefly, is that when we predicate 'duck' (as in "this is a duck") of a given thing, we are describing reality, not just conveniently labeling some part of it in our own minds. If 'duck' is merely a label that we apply to something, then anything we predicate of 'duck' is merely something we predicate of our own mental categories. But this isn't so: the sentence 'ducks quack' refers to something real, not just our thoughts. But at the same time, the sentence is not referring to Duck A or Duck B, but to ducks in general. From this, it seems to follow that some general 'ducky-ness' must have a kind of existence (otherwise how could we predicate of it?), and that this 'ducky-ness' must be shared by everything that is a duck (otherwise, by what is it a duck?).

In the opposite scenario that you've described, all predication would be limited to our thoughts. Someone could say "ducks quack", and someone else could say "ducks never quack", and both would be right, because both would merely be describing their own thoughts. Obviously, all reason, science, possibility of communication, etc, is finished at this point :-)

Of course our labels can be wrong. Someone could mistake a swan for a duck. Also, there is infinite variation from duck to duck, so the 'ducky-ness' of each duck in no way tells us everything about that duck. Duck A and B are unique individuals. Also, the 'ducky-ness' only ever exists in a given duck; it's not like it has some independent ethereal existence.
Just like no single person could ever find the time to watch every movie or TV show released (let alone all the video on YouTube); you can't possibly 'keep up' by reading everything.

When I am in learning mode, I try to mix up a 'breadth first' approach with an occasional 'depth first' method.

Pick up enough tidbits of information about a few popular topics so you can have a half-way intelligent conversation about them. Dive into detail on just a few of them so you know more than the average person about those.

Don't worry that you can't do either of these approaches for every single topic possible.

Restricting the rights of those with the power making the rules never works.

Its best to just accept a certain level of corruption so its at least out in the open. It is and always will happen, in fact its part of the very foundation of power structures and cannot ever be removed. All laws will do is increase the layers of deceit making it even more difficult to see why bad things are happening.

I always think it is weird that so many people that don't work in government have this odd belief that government work should basically be a vow of poverty. To pretend that people pursuing positions of power would accept universally that they should be poor is to deny human nature, which never works.

The entire point of doing price discrimination is so that you can keep a price high while tamping down any market pressure that would normally encourage you to lower your prices.

If McDonalds had to choose one price for an 8 piece nuggets, they would have to make a choice to either be ultra cheap, and anyone could happily afford those McDonalds nuggets like it was the 80s again, or they could choose to target up market, in which case they would compete with other expensive nuggets and some other business could take the market share for "extremely cheap nuggets"

Price discrimination distorts natural market forces that would otherwise drive competition, create opportunity, or "punish" hostile practices.

No, it assumes some linear relationship between pay and time. Which is a little iffy for salaried workers, but only a little.

My employer gets about 40 hours/week of "work" from me, whatever that might consist of. I cost them $X every two weeks in pay and benefits. It's pretty reasonable to say my attendance in a one-hour meeting has a $X/80 cost to my employer.

You don't need to overcomplicate this. The employment relationship is pretty simple at its foundation: the employer buys the time of its employees.

Sure, but it does get a lot simpler if you start from modules instead of cells. Nothing will get around the requirement to have electrical knowledge.

Cost is always an issue. These rarely make sense from a pure $$ sense, as everything in electrical is expensive. You could burn up that $1000 budget just to get a subpanel installed.

Usually the value proposition is some combination of savings, combined with the ability to backup critical loads. A generator could do that too, but a proper generator setup isn't cheap either, and it wouldn't save $$ at all. Battery solutions sometimes beat that.
If you took that same time, and invested it in working at Target, or Amazon etc, would you have more or less money than it would cost to buy an off-the-shelf battery? There are obviously other pros and cons.

Show HN: I built an AI-powered meme generator that creates videos in seconds
Hey HN! I made AutoMemes.ai

Here’s the problem I had and the solution I built:

Problem

Creating viral meme videos is time-consuming. You have to find the right clips, add captions, time everything perfectly, and make sure it all looks good. Some tools help, but they’re either too basic or too expensive.

Solution

AutoMemes.ai – A meme video generator that automates the whole process.

- AI-powered: Just input your idea, and it generates everything you need.

- Fast & easy: No editing skills required—get a shareable meme in seconds.

- Free to use: Unlimited meme creation with a watermark. Remove it for a one-time payment.

Still early, but excited to see where this goes. Let’s see how it plays out!

I would take Feynmans stories with a grain of salt, he was sometimes quite liberal with the facts when trying to make a point (in particular he liked to give the impression that he was the only smart guy in the room).

Someone relating that sequences of events to me as funny, especially if they said it was only funny after the pileup, would significantly adjust my prior as to dark triad characteristics in their psychology.

"prank" = IT guy sent campus wide email saying some printers will now charge $0.05/page

"that they probably didn't see with their own eyes" = they did not check physically very every printer on campus to verify none of the printers had the characteristic, the only way to falsify what the IT guy said, that some printers had a characteristic.

"Plus the retraction, and 2nd retraction." = 3x the time wasted for everyone on campus

"And reactions of other staff who fell for it" = people who believed the dry email from IT

"(and caused chaos)" = chaos isn't funny

"And then extra value upon retelling all of the above to others." = It sounds like we're assuming the relayer would get value from relating this, but the extra value is to the listener, it'd only harm the relayer.

As a listener, now I know that I have to verify 100% of everything the relayer tells me. They think a good prank is when you leverage your professional role to lie and cause chaos, which is justified because those poor sheep were complaining about something they didn't even verify with their own eyes. i.e. thousands of people should have gone through an absurdly onerous verification rather than trust communications you make in your professional role.

> How so?

Well I don’t know what issue you have with whitespace, but the usual complaint is that programs with small typos are syntactically valid but logically incorrect. This is why CoffeeScript became so disliked. A static type checker makes this scenario much less likely since it won’t compile.

I would also add that F# has some indentation rules (“offside rules”) and tabs are disallowed, further shrinking the input space.

> the exact mechanic from standard chess

The mechanic for standard chess is:

(If Rook and King have not moved (and no funny business with pawns promoted to Rook), and none of the three spaces the King is involved with are attacked, and all the spaces between the King and the Rook are unoccupied) King moves two spaces, Rook moves to the space the king passed over. The order is important, at least in tournament play.

The trickster is indeed an ancient archetype that can bring both wisdom and chaos. Historically, however, my understanding is that prior to Plato, essentially all knowledge, including philosophy, was understood to be received from divine sources. It was through the Socratic dialogues that the idea of knowledge as being something gained through human reason gained a foothold.

One could easily argue then that Plato was essentially a prankster and what we know as western civilization is a consequence of his trickery.

No they won't. OEMs will do that to put the 10% higher number on the box ('OC edition!'), but undervolting / powerlimiting has become increasingly popular. Taking a 2-5% haircut on clock frequency lets you reduce power draw by 20-50% for a 1-3% haircut in performance. Suddenly your CPU and GPU are whisper quiet on aircooling.

Chess 960 was done to address memorized openings and,to a certain degree,the issue of draws.

But Chess960's castling mechanism is totally unintuitive. So, Chess 744 was born. The exact mechanic (rook moves to king and king swings behind it) from standard chess is used and all of chess 960's setups that had a rook and the king in a corner were removed. This website goes into detail. There is no better method, IMHO, of creating an intuitive chess variation that addresses this issue. It is very hard and unintuitive in Chess 960 to remember where to move your pieces to castle and whether or not it is even legal given the squares the king has to move through.

> Should they expect a good performance evaluation?

They should expect that particular incident to not affect their performance evaluation, since it was very much not their fault.

In your hypothetical scenario, your hypothetical junior engineer went to the senior engineer repeatedly for advice, and the senior engineer did not do their job properly:

The lab tech was unhelpful, insisting that it must be something with how I had it wired, encouraging me to re-draw my schematic, check my wires, and so on. It could _never_ be the equipment's fault.

This is a huge failure in mentorship that wouldn't be ignored at a company that actually cares about these things.

> Do you mean like the underlying data chunks Ceph stores

Say I 3x replicate data across racks and I have 3 concurrent rack failures where the stars align and I lose data. What do I do?
I may want to make the tradeoff to have lower durability (say replicas are located within the same networking pod) for better performance due to lower latency between replicas. In that case maybe I am fine losing data once in a blue moon.
Sounds doable, but again, you're comparing that approach to:

- get some string

- measure a length between your low and high points

- fold it in half

- make a mark at the halfway point of the string

- fold it in half again, etc.

No candles, projection, transparent or slotted ruler, wall, or carefully moving one's hand back and forth under projected magnification needed. Just some string.
