If you count the display in the macbook that's the same number of screens

I believe Uber eats is currently doing that. Recently I noticed an option to pay $1.50 extra for "Priority delivery" which may be a combination of what you mention as well as modifying the delivery algorithm in your favor.

The Steam Linux client had a very similar issue a few years ago where in certain configurations it would delete / https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671

I've ported a template compiler to Rust before. The reality is you still end up with something slower than native JS because of the overhead serializing and parsing the JSON in WASM memory. This is something that will be helped by the interface types proposal[0] if it is implemented but I was surprised that this use case didn't work as well as I thought it would.

It depends on the implementation currently. Some implementations consider subdomains isolated and others don't. See Chrome's implementation experiments: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U5zqfaJCFj_URrAmSxJ0C7z0...

Consider the requestAnimationFrame API. It will give you a 60hz timer (even higher on high refresh rate displays) but is used for a ton of animation related tasks as well as games. That said it effectively can be used as a timer which in this case would likely be precise enough.

What do you do in the case where a ton of website's use this API for legitimate animations?

I would think fonts specifically would have a large negative impact that would affect first contentful paint given that tons of sites load a few common fonts.

The student's input is rendered for teachers to make it easier to grade submissions without opening them in an external tool.

As someone who used blackboard in college I can tell you it's a mess. Neither teachers nor students like it. It integrates with a ton of 3rd party libraries to be "helpful" by embedding content like this but ends up with a ton of different, inconsistent and often broken experiences.

Not sure if this is still the case but in some areas Comcast used to limit the cap to 100gb unless you bundled TV with your internet plan, then it went up to 1tb.

Oh man I remember using the Netfirms free tier! The internet was so different back then, a company wasn't afraid of giving free compute resources on subdomains of their main site.

They posted about this on HN before, basically they are VC funded and would like to make their money back by providing community support and paid features.

Mozilla's Position: "Mozilla has concerns about the shift in the web security model required for handling web-packaged information. Specifically, the ability for an origin to act on behalf of another without a client ever contacting the authoritative server is worrisome, as is the removal of a guarantee of confidentiality from the web security model (the host serving the web package has access to plain text). We recognise that the use cases satisfied by web packaging are useful, and would be likely to support an approach that enabled such use cases so long as the foregoing concerns could be addressed." https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/

I used to use Mullvad but switched to AirVPN. Mullvad was extremely slow in the US (under 25mbps most times) where I have found AirVPN to be able to reach ~750mbps. They also publish the congestion on their servers which is very handy for reaching high speeds.

Living in Phoenix for several years and working in Chandler (the headquarters for the self driving car division where my office was actually on the initial training route before they allowed passengers) I can say the cars suffer from being overly conservative. I don't think this is a bad thing for self driving cars, in contrast Ubers cars (before they were banned from the state for disabling collision detection and killing someone) drove aggressively. Ubers cars needed to be taken over to stop from hitting pedestrians crossing at intersections and continually drove at least 5mph above the speed limit.

In Phoenix everyone drives fast on the highway, but Waymo cars drive 5-10mph under the speed limit. There are some unprotected left turns across 4 lanes they may try but being conservative they crawl across and eventually get stuck in the middle. This is probably a good thing for now and as confidence with the engineering team on the hardware and software goes up it can likely be tuned.

I did an internship at a company building aviation hardware and software. Since everything was safety critical we used formal methods and things moved at a snail's pace.

When verification becomes the most important thing everything changes. The design specification doesn't make sense? It will take months to get it changed, write whatever code you can convince someone verifies against the design. Compile times are longer than an hour? Not a problem since the majority of the job isn't writing code but instead doing code reviews, verifications and writing tests. In fact writing code was about 15% of that job for the lowest level engineer. It was a whole different world than unregulated codebases are.

My team has recently focused on adding JSDoc to most of our codebase and I've been thinking, JSDoc provides essentially all the benefits (and more) of typescript from a maintainability aspect and contains none of the headaches (outdated definitely typed definitions, fighting with types...). As long as you use something to validate the JSDoc comments (like the JSDoc eslint plugin) they are extremely helpful in ways very similar to typescript. Language Servers like that in VSCode (tsserver) will inherit types from JSDoc comments and provide useful annotations with both the types and descriptions. They can even be used to show code examples or statically generated into webpages.

If your only argument is to use typescript for maintainability reasons doesn't using JSDoc extensively both solve and improve upon that goal?

These features are all great but Atom has some big issues to fix that have been around for years. Things like the finder reindexing files every time the window loses focus: https://github.com/atom/fuzzy-finder/issues/88

Additionally the Atom-IDE packages and what will happen with them, many of them have PRs that have been merged in to fix bugs but never published to the package (for about a year now). Although Facebook dropped support for Atom-IDE it still has nearly 1 million downloads and largely works well but can no longer be contributed to since the repo is archived and the packages aren't up to date.

They also support a mode where they will use WPA3 when supported and fall back to WPA2 when there isn't device support.

I've been using syncthing for a few years because I was sick of missing files when going from my laptop to desktop and vice versa. I wanted to sync most folders in my /home directory (documents, photos, videos, code...) While ignoring node_modules folders.

It has worked surprisingly fantastically. I thought I would need a server to use as a "master" but syncthing actually supports merging folders automatically. It does not need a static IP address for either computer and it will opportunistically sync my laptop and desktop when they are both on the same network.

I had no idea before I tried using it that syncthing could support such a setup so well. High praise.

I interviewed at Epic Systems on-site and this article hits on basically everything I saw and felt. It's a very interesting, unique and weird place. But you also get a kind of weird vibe from it, it seems like a large facade.

A few things the article missed: The offices are shared by up to 3 people in offices designed to have 1 or 2. About half the company is akin to consultants where they fly out to a medical facility every Monday and fly back every Thursday. The vast majority of hires are new grads and turnover is very high. Oh and the article touched on this but the selling point for switching to Epic software is that Epic has nearly every person in the US's medical history in their databases (since their usage is so widespread) so if you sign up to use Epic you get the medical history with it.

If you ever interview there I recommend trying to schedule the flight in on a Thursday, your flight will have a transfer at MSP Airport and the next flight will be all Epic employees whom you can ask questions and they can answer honestly. Every employee I talked to on that flight said they planned on quitting soon and didn't like working there. This was several years ago.

A fairly substantial PR was accepted recently to integrate the typescript server as the language client for atom-ide: https://github.com/atom/ide-typescript

It appears the project isn't dead, but there aren't any Facebook maintainers working on it (and there haven't been for nearly a year).

Firefox Dev tools are better for some things. Things like debugging webgl (you can live edit shaders!) But I find the UI and icon design difficult to use.

The problem with that is to make a node.js compatible engine you need to write and maintain a compatibility layer that mirrors the V8 API which I can completely understand a Dev team not wanting to undergo.

Because gigabit wifi turns to 50mbps when the office gets big enough. There is only so much spectrum to use. Plus if you're already connecting monitors when you have your laptop at your desk the Ethernet adapter can be part of the dock.

And windows 10 anniversary update, Microsoft Edge, Direct Play 2.0 support (which can only be found on recent graphics cards or 7th gen Intel integrated and only works over certain video outputs). For example I have a 7th gen Intel cpu, I can boot into windows and use Edge, download the media extensions, update my graphic drivers, but I still can't get 4k Netflix because my GPU is a year or so older than AMF supports for Direct Play 2.0 and additionally I have my 4k 10bit color monitor using Display port for the higher bandwidth. From what I've read at this time Display port isn't even supported with Direct Play 2.0 by AMD.

Basically it's such a pain in the ass, you aren't going to have 4k Netflix on PC, possibly even if you try...

AirVPN has worked well for me. They show the bandwidth capacity, use and current users of each server online so you can always make a informed decision. They let you use full capacity of the servers (I've brought a server from 100mbps usage to 900mbps on my gigabit line). They also have pretty good tooling, openvpn profile creator online, port forwarding, dns proxying servers...

I have had the opposite experience. I've had symmetric gigabit for a few years now and I monitor my upload and download rates in my bar on Linux. YouTube 4k videos can saturate around 500mbps (if you are scrubbing thru), backblaze can saturate all available bandwidth (but you need extremely high concurrency), game downloads can usually go to around 700mbps (on Steam, Origin and Epic launchers actually go faster). All in all I find it is useful day to day, but not quite as useful as you'd think. There are still way too many web servers that throttle download speed per connection or IP, however I've noticed there are less now than 4 years ago as gigabit consumer internet is becoming more common.

Worth noting this experience is from Phoenix, AZ (which is especially relevent because backblaze servers are in Sacramento and Phoenix).
