From my perspective, the article seems primarily focused on promoting React Server Components, so you could mention that at the very top. If that’s not the case, then a clearer outline of the article’s objectives would help. In technical writing, it’s generally better to make your argument explicit rather than leave it open to reader interpretation or including a "twist" at the end.

An outline doesn't have to be a compressed version, I think more like a map of the content, which tells me what to expect as I make progress through the article. You might consider using a structure like SCQA [1] or similar.

IIRC during Google's first few mass layoffs in January 2023 and in January 2024, it gave people lots of notice, including opportunities to find another role. As time went on, it just stopped caring.
You've been posting a huge number of political, ideological and even religious flamewar comments to HN. If you keep this up, we're going to have to ban you.

Actually you're already way over the line at which we'd ban an account (and yes, we do this regardless of what positions they're flaming for or against). But you've also posted good-for-HN comments, and your account has been here a while, so I'm going to give you a warning first. No more posts of this kind, please.

I do, and they are notable for their lack of advancement of social housing, the number one solution internationally for affordable housing for all people. But you’re avoiding the thesis of the article which is that the core funders of the YIMBY movement are more broadly involved in right-leaning politics — not just fringe thinkers.

>What began as the Yes In My Backyard (YIMBY) project’s narrow focus on zoning reform evolved into a sweeping pro-growth, neoliberal, and socially moderate brand of politics. “Abundance!” now serves as a rallying cry for a new kind of Democrat: techno-optimistic, skeptical of government, and supportive of a welfare state only when it comes with harsh restrictions.

There was a time when progressive social housing and market rate development advocates were united against NIMBY zoning rules. But these more conservative forces have come to dominate Yimby (through enormous amounts of funding) and direct its ire more generally against progressives that see oligarchy, not just zoning, as the primary problem in our society.

If readers believe I am making false claims, please engage with me. I live in Denmark, as a Dane, and this is what I and any Dane who has bought goods from the US, has experienced directly.

The actual, lived experience is far different than whatever any bloc or country may claim (such as being in favor of free trade). The EU has always been economically protectionist, since its birth.
>Do you honestly believe there have ever been _fair_ elections in America?

With a confidence level of some 99.9%+ of votes being legitimate, yes. with 155 million voters in 2024 nationals, that leaves a margin of about 155k illegitimate votes. Elections can be super close (see 2000), but any fraud that went undetected would not sway most American elections. At least not with this electoral college system.

>Do you honestly believe there will not be at least _some_ kind of election in 2028?

Yeah probably. I'm not even sure if Trump will get that far, though. we'll have to see how damning this SAVE act is on women first and if the courts strike this down in the next 18 months or so.

>Even if it's staged, form must be respected.

When has Trump ever done that? most other leaders I disagree with still did this. But not him.
Are you sure you are not experiencing some selection bias yourself, where you only recall the validation attempts that landed as patronizing or insincere, and do not notice when they are adeptly executed?
Offtopic, but I'm distracted by the opening example:

> After all, you don’t want to be building your iPhone app on literal iPhone hardware.

iPhones are impressively powerful, but you wouldn't know it from the software lockdown that Apple holds on it.

Example: https://www.tomsguide.com/phones/iphones/iphone-16-is-actual...

There's a reason people were clamoring for Apple to make ARM laptops/desktops for years before Apple finally committed.
...and you know that because...???
There's something of a parallel history for Radioshack up here in Canada.

Radioshack's were everywhere once upon a time. As things became less repairable and less repaired, the components racks gradually shrank and the stores pivoted to selling a variety of other electronic junk: video games, cell phones, toys, etc.. Their prices were consistently higher than the competition and what they stocked was frequently of low quality.

In the early 2000's the Canadian franchises were bought out, and re-branded as "The Source". I asked a store manager why they'd turned their back on such a well recognized brand for "The Source", and he told me that the Radioshack brand was indeed well known, but associated with junk and high prices. I couldn't argue with that. They kept selling the same stuff at the same prices and quickly earned the same reputation Radioshack had. By this point the components racks were long gone and they were no longer even a good place to find adapters, cables, etc.. Somehow, "The Source" stores continued to persist.

Last year, they closed a significant chunk of their stores and re-branded again as "Best Buy Express". I haven't bothered to go into one since this happened but, if they're selling Best Buy's stock at Best Buy prices, it should be a distinct improvement despite the loss of identity.

Back when Radioshack re-branded to "The Source" I felt like some piece of my childhood had been lost, but Radioshack had already ceased to be Radioshack by that point, in Canada at least. "The Source" was always one of the stores you just walked past. I doubt anyone will miss them.

Hope that clears things up

In the real world locks are meant to keep honest people honest and slow down the dishonest people until someone notices and stops them.

There’s a world where crypto could be sold the same way, but the sycophants drowned that out for long enough that we aren’t in the Trough Disillusionment now so much as the Trough of Open Mockery.
Not everyone values money the same, and not all money is valued the same even by the same person. I know that personally I value money below a certain level of wealth much, much more than I value money over that level of wealth. That level and the degree of difference in how money is valued above and below it will vary from person to person.
If OP is above 30 - it's probably due to the frustration of trying to modularize GCC that led to the creation of LLVM in the first place. If OP is below 30, it's probably because he grew up in a world where most compiler research and design is done on LLVM and GCC is for grandpa.
This is misleading at best. The JVM only exposes multibyte values to ordinary applications in such a way that byte order doesn't matter. You can't break out a pointer and step through the bytes of a long field to see what order it's in, at least not without the unsafe memory APIs.

In practice, any real JVM implementation will simply use native byte order as much as possible. While bytecode and other data in class files is serialized in big endian order, it will be converted to native order whenever it's actually used. If you do pull out the unsafe APIs, you can see that e.g. values are little endian on x86(-64). The JVM would suffer from major performances issues if it tried to impose a byte order different from the underlying platform.

I guess part of my question is, are there any macrostates that are useful to us that can't be described using more abstract human-subjective terms? If a macrostate can be described using human terms, I'd say the state is somewhat ordered. And if a state can't be described using human terms, then wouldn't it be indistinguishable from "particle soup" and thus not a useful macrostate to talk about?
Good. I used to be a daily NPR listener, but it lost the plot years ago. Now every time I accidentally switch to it it's either 5 minutes of Trump hate or some "current thing" I don't care about.
The original agreement was fair to both creators and society and would never be remotely palatable to today's industry of middle-men and rights hoarders.

I wish we could have it back. I would feel a lot better about "intellectual property", morally, if we did.

I mean, there were Tesla earnings calls this year flagged, which would be front page news even a year ago. Tech earnings calls are almost never flagged otherwise.

I'm mostly convinced a lot of stuff is flagged and the mods work overtime to pick and choose what to unflag. On what metric? No clue, if I'm being honest.
Nothing in either article about what is driving so much demand for these bags. It just seems circular: they're selling like crazy because they are scarce and they are scarce because they're selling like crazy.
Good question. Author is incredibly hostile to one of the most important pieces of software ever developed because of the way they approached the problem nearly 40 years ago. Then he criticizes Go for trying to redesign the system instead of just using target triples...
It's a Weird Time in Tech Hiring
Talented engineers apply to dozens of jobs and never hear back.

Hiring managers post openings and get flooded with unqualified applications.

It feels broken on both sides.

Why is this happening?

Here are a few things, but there are more:

1. Too many candidates, too few roles

Post-layoffs, the market is flooded — especially with mid- and senior-level engineers — making competition intense and hiring teams overwhelmed.

2. Applying is too easy

One-click applies and AI-written resumes mean companies get swamped with low-quality or irrelevant applications.

3. Job ads are now part of global competition

Hiring is no longer local — job ads attract applicants from all over the world, raising the volume but making it harder to identify the best local or relocation-ready talent.

So how do we fix it? Feel free to add your own recipes.

1. Improve your online presence

Make sure your LinkedIn and resume clearly reflect your skills, role, and value — don’t make hiring teams guess.

Write a tech blog, join podcasts, solve HackerRank challenges, contribute to open source — anything that helps show your expertise beyond just a job title.

2. Use referrals (even weak ones)

Even a loose connection can help you bypass the noise and get your profile seen.

3. Build your network before you need it

Stay active, share your work, and connect with people — opportunities often come from conversations, not applications.

With everything happening in the tech hiring lately - how are you navigating it all?
I feel like this shows up in any news article about resale markups of trendy merch - the highest-price listing gets the headline, regardless of if it ever sells. I get that these soft-news articles are more about driving traffic to the site than quality reporting, but I'm still surprised (and annoyed!) that these easily disprovable eye-grabbers are omnipresent in this class of story.

Edit: further example - come on, man https://www.delish.com/food-news/a64457108/trader-joes-mini-...
Exactly. Do not use blur to hide information. Blurring simply "spreads out" the data, rather than removing it. Just search (you know, on Google, without an LLM) for "image unblur".

The truest form of hacking was when you could fuck with public utilities using parts you got at Radio Shack. I wish I still had my DTMF dialer, it was so cool. Maybe kids today are buying parts to build GSM base stations. Maybe they'll bring back pirate radio, once all the analog radio bands have been replaced with digital. I just hope they get to experience that thrill and wonder at the power that hidden knowledge brings.
AI as Normal Technology
They have more data in English than Spanish. LLMs don't know or reason or follow instructions. They merely render text continuations that are coherent with the expectations you set when prompting. The fact that they are not able to sustain the illusion in languages with less available training data than English should make that clear.
I think a clearly ideological actor leaving by choice after being ostracized for representing blatantly false and unscientific ideological claims is good, actually, and that providing this as an example is shifting your goalposts. For context, Carole Hooven is a fellow of the American Enterprise Institute, a right-wing "think-tank," and an associate of notable transphobe Stephen Pinker. The personal costs of her self-created ostracization seem minimal (perhaps negative).

The statements that she made hinge on a supposed "strict sex binary," which relies upon forced ignorance and denial of the existence of intersex people. This is a weaponized claim used to gird the foundations of an ideology which has successfully sought to engage in human rights abuses, initially directed by this administration at denying children social acceptance and access to life-saving medical care as well as directly impugning the moral character of US military service members while attacking their access to life-saving medical care and discharging them from service. Simultaneously, Harvard has come under attack from the administration on a purely ideological and fascist basis. It seems like her critics were right to view her as a threat to science, human dignity, and the institution they mutually-represented.
> If you believe in cash, does that mean you can't run to the courts if someone steals your cash?
If your security proves insufficient to prevent a theft, that doesn't mean the theft was legal! It just means your security was insufficient.

Stealing someone’s private key and then using it to steal their assets is very different from exploiting edge cases of get rich quick schemes.
> * Validate + not solve: Most people will be annoyed

Actually, if they came to vent about a problem that they don't view as solvable, then validation only is what they're looking for.

e.g. When your partner tells you about their difficult day at work, or your friend tells you about a bad date that they had, they're not usually asking for advice. They just want emotional support.

Spotting when this is the case is useful. Trying to solve it when validation and empathy is what's wanted can be the more annoying response.

It's hilarious (by which I mean facepalm worthy) that people spend so much effort trying to distance YIMBY from the right and from libertarians. Their movement isn't exactly built in the image of Ron Fucking Paul and it does do a lot of steamrolling municipalities which the more socially right types don't like but despite that they've created something the rights seems able to like at least not take issue with on the principal level. And so a lot of these "righter" types do support it, despite there being some minor elements and undertones they might not like. But as soon as someone to the right of center actually tries to fan the flames or actually endorse anything, all the lefties who make up the bulk of movement get all pissed off because it's "their movement".

Any sane person would be happy they've found something that almost the entire political spectrum considers common ground. Winners like that are rare. Embrace it.

That would amount to 10 mrem of radiation per year. I don't believe this is a realistic estimate for a CT scan though. From epa.gov [1]:

- Head CT: 2.0 mSv (200 mrem)

- Chest CT: 8.0 mSv (800 mrem)

- Abdomen CT: 10 mSv (1,000 mrem)

- Pelvis CT: 10 mSv (1,000 mrem)

So for a head CT, one would need to spend more than 13 hours per workday in the station. OP was off at least an order of magnitude.

I do not mind if these artists do not get paid. I absolutely realize that much of corporate art would not exist without IP laws and I accept that.

For books, most of the ones I read are passion projects and if I like them I buy them as thanks to the author/publisher.

I also have absolutely no problem with paying people for their work, I just do not believe they have any rights to their so called "IP".
Always the way with these, makes you wonder if the crazy expensive ebay listings (and maybe even some sales) are part of the marketing campaign.

It will always be subjective. There will always be holdouts who will denounce any AI work as "bad" simply because it was created by AI.

Even when AI is objectively better and dominates in blind ratings tests, there will still be a strong market for "authentic" media.

For instance we already have factories that churn out wares that are cheaper, stronger, better looking, and longer lasting than "hand made", yet people still seek out malformed $60 coffee mugs from the local artistan section in country shops.

I’d personally love something like this. A year ago, I got hooked on Notpron and The Codex of Alchemical Engineering, and what really pulled me in was the evolving logic.

Yes, it looks like a flash was used. A pyrotechnic "big chemical flash" was the standard kind in 1921, so that too.

I am not sure if it was "bounced against a wall to soften" or not, I don't think that our experience about what an electric flash looks like with and without bounce will apply, the pyrotechnic flash won't look exactly the same. The pyrotechnic won't be such a point light source for a start. So I wouldn't leap to the conclusion that there has to be a deliberate bounce.

The entire point of cryptocurrency contracts is supposedly that “code is law”. Running to the courts as soon as someone does something you didn’t intend only highlights that people don’t actually believe this.
What it suggest to me is that delivery fees are too cheap. Amazon subsidizing shipping to the point customers expect same-day as an option on something as insignificant than it was just a simple button click. No other thought given to the actual cost. Where going to the store probably means putting on clothes, driving somewhere, dealing with other humans, before driving back. The original online purchase meant possibly saving taxes, but now everyone collects taxes so no savings there. If there was a tipping point of being able to save brick&mortar, COVID pushed it over to the non-recoverable side.
