It’s a post in a BSD blog, specifically of the author of The Book of PF, that is in its entirety concerned with the question of whether a new edition of The Book of PF is coming. It’s not an ad in a computer magazine. It’s fair to presuppose that a reader of the blog knows what The Book of PF is. (It’s then arguably not fair to post it for a general audience on HN, but the author can hardly control that.)

Please don’t assume everybody who presupposes knowledge does so to assert their intellectual superiority. Presupposing knowledge is how we can communicate anything at all in a culture where one can be a dozen inferences or a couple of years of learning away from even understanding a question. And people who assert their intellectual superiority usually aren’t worth listening to at all—so if you end up concluding that every smart person is doing it, or even most of them, or most of them in a field, then you have a wide-ranging misunderstanding of some sort. This, about presupposing knowledge, is one that could be. (Another popular one is not understanding that, in mathematics, “obvious”, etc., does not mean “skill issue if you don’t get it” but rather “you’ve missed something important if you don’t get it, go back and think on it some more”.)

This wouldn't work for 90% of apps out there. While I would love that approach, it has so many problems that in practice it never worked out for me. First problem is that data change. Either you edit it, or you need updates from server applied to your copy. This is quite complex (although there are some solutions, I had little luck in making this work reliably). Second - you don't want to share the whole catalog in one request. Third - in most cases there is a lot of data. It's not uncommon to have tens of thousands of items and for each you likely need some kilobytes. Four - you are downloading the whole catalog even for deep links which might not care about all but a tiny fraction of that data.

Engineers build the systems we all rely on every day. Yet their work is often invisible — and undervalued.

They keep things running.

They design architectures that don’t fail.

They prevent problems before they happen.

But society tends to reward visible outcomes, not quiet structure.

We’ve built a protocol that aims to fairly recognize the structural contributions of top engineers — by valuing contribution, trust, and system vitality as core metrics.

GitHub: https://github.com/contribution-protocol/contribution-protoc...

If you were an engineer, how would this feel to you?

Even for basic sites, I tend to reach for an SPA because I never know when I'll be adding dynamic features, anything from basic showing / hiding of content, list / configuration-based rendering, or requesting data.

It's usually inevitable, so it's easier to scaffold a Vite template and get cracking without any additional setup. The time-to-deploy is fast using something like Netlify or Vercel, and then I have the peace of mind knowing I can add additional routes or features in a consistent, predictable way that fits the framework's patterns.

I'd hate to develop an MPA and realize after the fact that now I need complex, shared data across routes and for the UX to be less disrupted by page loads. Once you've dug that hole, you either have to live with it, or face a painful rewrite later.

The exception I often see is targeting mobile devices in low-bandwidth areas where larger application bundles take longer to load, but I have to wonder how often this is the target audience. I live in a place where mobile data speeds are horrible, and access to WiFi is abundant, but even so, I rarely have a situation where I *need* to load up a non-critical site on the go — and having apps pre-installed doesn't really help either when the data they're requesting is barely trickling in on mobile.

So this oft-used exception doesn't really make sense to me unless I learned why this is so critical for some people.

From the article:

"Why are there no laws requiring device manufacturers to open source all software and hardware for consumer devices no longer sold?"

I think it's because people (us here included) love to yap and argue about problems instead of just implementing them and iterating on solutions in an organized manned. A good way these days to go about it would be to forego the facade of civility and use your public name to publicly tell your politician to just fuck it, do it it bad, and have plan to UNfuck after you fuck it up, until the fucking problem is fucking solved.

Same goes for UBI and other semi-infuriating issues that seem to (and probably do) have obvious solutions that we just don't try.

All of your questions have already been answered above, but you clearly didn't have much interest in reading it. I will still elaborate more so you don't even have the chance to delude yourself into thinking that you have any point whatsoever.

Apple has a 10/10 vested interest in the kneecapping of PWAs - why?

A Progressive Web App, if allowed to reach its full, un-sabotaged potential, is the technological manifestation of the Digital Markets Act's goals. So it would be utterly absurd for Apple to pour hundreds of millions of dollars into fighting the DMA, just to let PWAs pass which achieves the exact same goals.

Many of the DMA's mandates are an existential threat to Apple's business model and the PWA is the DMA in disguise:

- DMA mandates Apple to allow alternative App Stores & sideloading i.e. Force Apple to end its monopoly on app distribution. PWAs are sideloading by nature. A user "installs" a PWA directly from the web. The browser is the app store. The open web is the distribution platform. This completely bypasses the App Store.

- DMA mandates Apple to allow alternative payment systems. Forcing Apple to let developers use their own payment processors and avoid the 15-30% commission. PWAs use Open Web payments. It can use Stripe, PayPal, or any other payment processor with standard web APIs. Apple gets a 0% cut.

- DMA mandates Apple to increase Developer & User Choice. Give developers the freedom to choose their tools and give users the freedom to choose their apps without being locked in. PWAs are the epitome of choice. They are built with the most universal, open technologies on earth (HTML, CSS, JS). They are cross-platform by default and free users from being locked into a single company's hardware/software ecosystem.

Why would Apple have ANY interest in nurturing a technology that would voluntarily subject them to the very conditions they are spending hundreds of millions of dollars in lobbying and legal fees to fight against?

The answer is: They wouldn't and they don't.

Apple's actions are not those of a company with simply "low interest". They are the actions of a profit-maximizing gatekeeper actively defending its most lucrative business against an existential threat. Every bug, every delayed feature, and every artificial limitation imposed on PWAs on iOS is a calculated strategic move in this defense. The brief, hostile removal of PWA functionality in the EU was not an outlier, it was Apple showing its true face when it thought it could get away with it.

I also use a single text file. I have developed my own notation to give it some structure [1]. I have a parser for the notation that creates tree of the document. Then I write various programs that walk the tree and do cool things. I have been happy(didn't feel like I needed anything else) with my system for some years now.

Checkout the video: https://youtu.be/CpcsOiETgxA

Apologies for low quality of video and code. :)

Example file:

``` [x*x for x in range(10)] ``` #out{}

Now if notebook program is watching the file then it will send the code block to jupyter server and write results to `#out{}` "bag". And file will look like this.

``` [x*x for x in range(10)] ``` #out{ ```````````````````````````````````````````` [0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81] ````````````````````````````````````````````}

What do people use for creating artifacts at their jobs?

Architecture diagrams, data flow diagrams, sequence diagrams, network diagrams, entity-relationship diagrams ...

I'd really like to find an option which can preferably be version controlled and doesn't require hard-to-remember schema (ex. plantUML).

At work it's always tough to find something which works, and which is free or already licensed (no chance to get new licenses), and which is easy enough for teammates of varying technical abilities to contribute to.

For Arch Diagrams, most people seem to jump to Draw.IO, which is nice, but I'm not sure how easily it can be version controlled (although I haven't tried). At work it usually falls into the "did you put your latest version on SharePoint" black-hole (we don't pay for the cloud syncing version of draw.io). I wanted to try Figma, since it's at least a bit more collaborative, but there aren't any good first-party templates, so maybe it's not the right place, either.

For DFDs, I'd like to try Mermaid, or D2, or PlantUML (scared by the syntax on that one, though). I've not tried any of these, right now we usually do these in draw.io too, but I feel like code-defined ones would be an easier to maintain option and can live in a repo easier.

Sequence Diagrams are currently usually done using the sequencediagram.org engine, which I'm not a huge fan of, but at least it's relatively easily handled text. I don't think there was a good VS Code integration last time I checked (I think it was some web emulator, not a built-in engine?).

ERDs, I'd also like to find a good local tool to probably just use SQL on the backend, so that it's one less conversion. I'm open to all suggestions for that, though.

I’m against censorship, well, except for stuff that would already be illegal.

But as to the potential harm, I recommend “Homemade” by Sebadoh.

Example verse: “There’s still pictures in my mind. I’ve been addicted all this time. It taught me everything I know. Tell me girl, did it leave me cold?”

We don’t need to ban porn. We need better sex ed, ideally starting at home.

While I'm not big on crypto. This is, in part, why Bitcoin exists and why it was created.

I'm not sure if Bitcoin is the right answer due to the 51% attack vulnerability. And a network of miners where everyone can join in principle sounds pretty yolo, but it seems the be the one of the few organizations that exist outside of government? At least, it does in principle, the fact that the whole crypto industry is a mix of scams and recreation of the actual finance industry isn't helping that case, but a part of it definitely still exists outside of it.

We need more digital systems that exist outside of governments. I'm not sure if it's feasible, but stuff like this is egregious.

I wonder what our view on all of this is in a 1000 years. People in the future probably look at us in disbelief with how we practiced our ethics.

The person is also quite good at specifically putting their words online in a way that others can benefit from them. (Enough so that it’s a bit of a running joke[1] when he quits his job and has time to write some more words.) That skill is generally difficult to transmit, so if they’re saying something in that direction it could be worth listening.

I've had this on my phone for years, it's a great collection of puzzles. I haven't tried them all (games on phones), but it's certainly the best I have. No ads, no useless gamification, but well polished and varied puzzles, and quite a bit of control over the difficulty.

My favourite has to be "Keen", it's a sudoku-like where a grid has to be filled with no repeated numbers on either columns or rows, and arbitrarily shaped cells must be filled to satisfy an arithmetic constraint like "sums to 7", "the product is 84" or "one divided by the other is 3" (if sized two).

Towers is nice too, similar concept (re repetition), but the constraints are now visibility ranges on the boundaries of the grid, as you put down towers of varying height. I find it more difficult.

Some of the games are more mechanical, where you can mindlessly iterate to a solution step by step. Like "Net" (rotate pipes to connect them all to the center). Towers takes some more guess work, and I find Keen is there in the middle.

My wife is in the retail side of this market and I’ve had a lot of second hand familiarity with the transition to lab grown.

What I find most interesting is the weight put on the ethical side. I think it’s overstated. When the issue became big, the Blood Diamond movie, sales of lab grown did not markedly increase. It took another decade or so to become more prevalent. What changed over that time is the price, IIRC the price was comparable to natural at the time the movie came out. Ethics were not compelling enough for most people at that price. When prices got about 50% of natural, it became much more compelling. Now that it’s around 10%, it’s practically so compelling that buying natural isn’t even a real consideration for many people.

Anyways, I think people use the Blood Diamond talking point as a socially acceptable reason- it’s what they tell their parents and grandparents who might judge them- but in reality it’s almost completely a financial decision. If the tables were turned and natural diamonds became 1/10th the cost of lab grown, the market would completely flip back practically overnight.

You want maximize collected tax, fairness & equity, and incentives.

This means:

1. convex effective tax curve when income increases.

2. curve is progressive (increasing) to adjust for diminishing marginal utility of income and wealth. https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/072815/what-margina...

The emphasis on effective. Meaning: (income - taxes + benefits) curve is smooth and no tax avoidance. Incentives for the poor, the middle and and the rich.

Then you fight over what level the is (political question).

Big tax jumps (suggested by the left) or linear tax (suggested by right) don't hack it.

I was there, and unlike many of the other commenters, I feel like it was just ok. Imagine maker faire but there happens to be a stage next door with YouTubers.

The panels I did see, the moderator (William Osman) didn't do a very good job moving through questions, so very few people got to actually ask anything.

I also felt very strange that the only place I saw kids was lining up to ask YouTubers questions during the panels. I couldn't help but think about how many kids want to be YouTubers when they grow up - it seems like YouTuber idolism was the main event and not any of the awesome booths by non-famous people.

I think the key is that you are supposed to automate whatever feels boring for you, and that should leave you more time to engage in activities that you actually feel joy for.

If your hobby is programming by all means disable AI assistance and spend hours coding, but for some people it might feel like a chore sometimes or just be their day job. Allowing them to automate that process further so that they can have more free time reading a book or doing woodworking doesn't feel that bad.
Show HN: Image Describer Chrome Extension
by ckundo | 2025-07-26 13:47:58+00:00
Image Describer is a Chrome Extension that uses AI to describe content in the browser for blind and low vision people. A person can get a description either through the content menu or with a keyboard shortcut. The description is announced back to the user, and is also available as text for review. The extension also supports a multi-turn interface to dig deeper into the image.

I've seen a few other examples of similar tools, including some very rudimentary built-in features in Chrome. More recently I saw a couple threads on a SaaS based approach, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42886440 that are interesting but pretty different than what I'm showing.

My approach is novel because it includes some surrounding context about the page, that's important from generating a useful description. It also supports multi-turn conversations. Finally, it doesn't replace alt text per se; it provides added context in the client and doesn't override the native alt text.

This is my first time sharing this project, and I'm happy to hear feedback especially from blind or low vision people as I work on a new release. Feel free to message me at cameron@accesslint.com. Thanks!

> ...all I wound up learning was I would never be that good at it.

I suspect that if you had looked at a 98-percentile video instead of the top video, you would also have thought that you would never be that good at it, but in many things, being in the top 2% is attainable with effort for the top 50% or so of the population; practicing for that is just not how they choose to spend their time.

look, all i am saying is that if you want the world to change, you have to do something about it yourself. if you feel like you can't, then that's up to you. other people not caring and not doing anything is not an excuse. if everyone used that excuse then nothing would get done. and perhaps that is the reason why progress is so slow. to many people are just blaming others. if you want change you need to start with your own person. and again, i am not saying that you should talk to people that hate you directly all on your own. you are not the only one who wants change. that's a community project. so build a community. that's what i am doing where i am. and then as a community we can approach the haters.

the problem here is your negative attitude. it's self defeating. and your apparent lack of care for others. why? you think the grievances or rural america are petty? why? and how do you think you could get them to change that? if we want a better world then we need to address everyones grievances. either by actually solving them or empowering them to solve them for themselves or by getting them to change their minds about them. and again, i am not saying that you should do this by yourself. that's not something any individual can do on their own.

you also don't need to get directly involved with people who are not around you. but you could change your own attitude about it and you can encourage others to share that attitude. one by one, people will get up and start doing something. if you just sit there and complain then nothing will change.

the most important part though is to not give up. the first steps are the hardest. changing your own mind and developing the courage and desire to do something, against all odds. finding the first few friends that want to join you. but once you have a few friends, things do get easier. don't expect quick results. be steadfast. it may take months to even find one person willing to go with you. keep talking to people until you find them.
