Musk is also threatening to turn off Starlink in Ukraine in his most recent tweets. That is why Europe is urgently seeking for an alternative.


People normally say Musk doesn't care what you think and I am no different but Doug Ford repudiated a $100m contract with starlink and Musk would be starting to wonder what income hit he faces if Europe both repudiates starlink and backs eutelsat at scale.

I do think at some level he knows that common carrier is both a shield and a lead weight. If the department of state tells him to stop supplying internet he has an out, and we all get a signal about the reach of US legal arms to our own national strategic interest.

No action here has no downside consequences for him or anyone else. LEO is and always was a contestable market.

The real problem is launch. If he maintains a lock on cheap launch, competitors at scale will pay him to be there and again, the US government has a view.

Yes, he's a billionaire. Yes, $100m is chump change.


Poland pays for all officially donated Starlink terminals in Ukraine, including ~5K donated by State Department. Afaik its a silly number around $10mil month. The bigger hit would be Europe thinking about banning Starlink from operating in EU.


The Europeans are very aware of such a threat. There is growing support for buying only domestically produced arms.


Quite literally on the github home page it says that "darktable is not a free Adobe® Lightroom® replacement."


That doesn't mean it's not an alternative to Lightroom. That was put in for reasons discussed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27722258


The feature list, description and thumbnail of the UI begs to differ.


Don’t forget the name!


Is tailwind better than CSS modules, and if so then why?


they serve different purposes.

CSS modules is a (great) mechanism for providing isolation, very useful in the context of today's component-oriented front end development.

Tailwind provides some (quite good) building blocks for a design system, such as a palette, a sizing scale, values for shadows and rounded corners... and a vast set of classes to apply them. The set of classes covers basically every CSS feature, making it possible to slap everything in the class attribute of your HTML elements and never or almost never have to deal with CSS files.

In other words, CSS modules is a solution for those who love CSS and needed just a way to not deal with naming clashes without resorting to BEM. Tailwind is a tool for those who very much would like to avoid writing CSS


Maybe I should revisit this stuff. I’ve been fighting anything other than my own custom CSS classes for a while. It’s beginning to look at bit dated and I have no interest in rewriting them for the few sites that I support (family members and a couple of charities). I am no web guru and much prefer my hobby/day job of embedded stuff that you’ll never see on a GUI. I keep hearing great stuff about tailwind though.


i was all-in on simple hand-rolled CSS for the longest time but finally gave Tailwind a try because of a work project. it was a pleasure to use once i did.

i like to use it with DaisyUI also. the part i like is that all the classes i need are already written so its just putting pieces together.


Never sanitize user data before storing it in your backend. Always sanitize user data before displaying it on the screen.


I would amend that slightly:

It's okay, but mostly a waste of time, to sanitize data before storing it.

You must sanitize data when outputting it.

Why? Because someone could get the data into storage in another way, or new vulnerabilities might be discovered that you aren't sanitizing for before storage.


In JavaScript: typeof null == "object" As described in https://2ality.com/2013/10/typeof-null.html


Is it a good idea to try to run the du command in the root directory?


Probably even better to try sudo -i! ;-)



How does it relate to this discovery: https://news.virginia.edu/content/uva-smashes-barrier-growin... ("By manipulating the appropriate signaling, the U.Va. researchers have turned embryonic stem cells into a fish embryo, essentially controlling embryonic development.")


Just wanted to clarify that these were fish stem cells. It's not ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny or anything.


> I suppose utility rests on whether you treat it as a collaborative development platform or merely as a host for your code (and keep track of discussions, proposed changes, and what-not through other means).

They both naturally blend together. I honestly can't understand what is the difference between these two that you are thinking about.

> Essentially, whether or not it turns out to be useful assumes that it is used as the central collaboration platform to an extent.

This is the initial plan.

> Though on the other hand, merely tracking changes on a higher-level could be sufficient.

Some day we can implement a client side structural diff tool.
