Yeah. I think you need to render to actual DOM nodes when targeting the web if you want a first class experience.

We're betting on this over at https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus where we're building a cross-platform UI solution that enables you to do this by having a web-centric API (we are developing our own custom HTML/CSS renderer for native platforms).

Whatever merit alternatives have, the reality is these make long, like very long migration arcs, these days you will have so much team churn, maintenance rabit holes and regular tech debt and feature requests that its fair enough to say any project that starts to move out of Mainframe tech will never see the finishing line.

You are better off maintaining what already works. Either way why do you want to migrate when things are just working fine as is?

> Mining has been dropping since the 80s [0].

> Farming, forestry, fishing are estimated to decline by 3% in the next 10 years [1]. After having fallen from ~50% of the US population in 1870 already.

You're linking to employment. Like manufacturing, these industries have been significantly automated and mechanized. So yes they have been employing fewer people. Corporations can't move the land and minerals and oil and gas offshore though, so those industries have not been killed. The cost of labor didn't kill them. That's despite all these minerals and petrochemicals and farmland available all around the global south too.

Sorry to hear you had some problems. Can I ask what browser(s)/device you were using? Or what game you were playing? I have a few other exceptions/stacktraces to look into, any extra info would be helpful.

Good idea with the pubs. I also considered approaching places with Karaoke rooms. Like a little private game room party while you are out.

Most of the games are designed to be playable with 3-16 people (even 16 is pushing it for some). Would potentially need to design some games for a larger audience in a bar.

I agree, in Australia you see plenty of them on laptops, water bottles and just out in the street like you said.

We do have a lot of stickers on cars too but it's more common to see them on windows of the car not the car body, and I think in general they're socially quite different to what you'd see in America. More like brand stickers and hobby stuff, or jokes, not so much politics or religion.

see my other reply. "cloth" is the correct one. and no I wouldn't use the original A-POC for a phone case (no one wants a piece of rigid fabric for a phone case). the construction has more to do with A-POC as it is made from one piece of material without seams while the pleated line has seams and is pleated. if you're curious you can see m.a+ for another spin on "one piece of material", where even shoes are made with one cut of leather

> It's not a "scenario" - it's a comparison, an example.

Semantics. You invented a scenario and you attempted to make some point that presumably you were unable to make with the situation at hand.

> It's no different to this forum - people choose to come here. Someone chose to share TFA. People chose to enter these comments and shit on people's design choices and take weird stands about political balance.

I think it is different. If it were not different you would not have been compelled to think of it.

> Sure, these are obviously the same...

Now you don't like "comparisons"? It's more similar than your one.

> Those people could "learn to live and let live" with regards to people harmlessly putting stickers on their laptops.

Expressing a dislike for something is not incompatible with live and let live. It is participating in a conversation. It's not hostile, it doesn't need to be guilted or suppressed or name-called.

Google, AWS, Vimeo, etc can demand all they want. But they’re just another voice without any incentives that aid the project. If they find having an in-house ffmpeg focused on their needs to be preferable, go for it; that’s OSS.

But given its license, they’re going to have to reveal those changes anyways (since many of the most common codecs trigger the GPL over LGPL clause of the license) or rewrite a significant chunk of the library.
Show HN: Night Vision App for iPhone Now Offers Free Basic Features
by darkce | 2025-11-12 05:17:43+00:00
Big news! The basic features of Night Vision App are now completely free — only the advanced tools require a one-time purchase.

It used to be a paid app, but now the basic night vision preview is free for everyone. Pro features still require a one-time purchase. Thanks for your support!

Recent Updates:

1⃣ Fully optimized for iOS 26 with the new Liquid Glass design

2⃣ Enhanced night vision performance

The idea for Night Vision App actually came from a moment of curiosity. When I first got my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I noticed a mysterious little dot beneath the rear camera — the LiDAR sensor. I suddenly wondered: could it be used to see in the dark? If LiDAR could be used to map out a scene, maybe real night vision could become possible.

That’s how Night Vision App was born. It combines the iPhone’s LiDAR scanner and TrueDepth camera to create detailed low-light imaging — turning your phone into a professional-grade night vision device.

If you have an iPhone Pro model, I highly recommend giving it a try.

I can't say too much about that exact scenario, but I think a practical issue for people is waiting for the perfect conditions. And in general, those perfect conditions never come, yet the years fly by so incredibly fast.

And for women this is particularly true. Because in practical terms you're going to have at least a couple of years between kids. At the minimum this is because their cycle is suppressed while breast feeding, and then it generally takes a number of months to get pregnant, even moreso if somebody is in their 30s, let alone 40s. And so if you want to have 3 kids, it's a practical necessity to start very early - that's pushing towards a decade of time.

So modern society is really rather a lie in this regard, and I think that's been quite harmful. Because this lie is encouraging all of us (male and female alike), to push parenthood out later and later. And that dramatically increases the odds that 'later' eventually becomes never.

I could see a case where the core logic needs to be performant, but the UI does not. The front end could be some menus, displaying (not a giant amount of) data, and a progress bar, while the back end does heavy computing.

And furthermore, if you want fast code writing, you write in the language you already know. For some people, that is Rust.

A backup is not all a replacement for iCloud.

The point is to sync application data between native apps running on different (and even different kinds of) devices. PIM-style data (calendar, contacts, notes, bookmarks, and so forth) probably comes first for most people. Apple has also added useful stuff like Wi-Fi passwords and E-mail account configurations.

And then developers can create their own entries in the iCloud data store for their own apps. This is hugely useful.

I'm not aware of any similar facility that comes with Android, but I'd be happy to hear about it if there is.

> I think it is different. If it were not different you would not have been compelled to think of it.

Not actually responding to the essence of the comparison.

> Now you don't like "comparisons"?

Just bad-faith comparisons that equate "Just Be Yourself" stickers with "I hate fags" stickers

> Expressing a dislike for something is not incompatible with live and let live. It is participating in a conversation. It's not hostile, it doesn't need to be guilted or suppressed or name-called.

Again, if you consider a group of people sharing their art between each other and having a conversation about it, and someone comes in and is like "This art is stupid." that is hostile. That is exactly what is happening here.

2025 is the year where I finally have to ask myself: "What is Google actually doing for me?" and the answer is "Nothing". I am no longer able to search with Lynx. I had to move to startpage.com for that. I never used, and never will, gmail or any other of their oservices, except for YouTube (which they bought). YouTube search is finally totally unusable, pushing short form content onto me which I really really don't care about. I have to click the "Show me less shorts" button on my iPhone every few weeks, because the stuff keeps coming back. I don't care about their AI summaries, I was always happy (when I was still able to use Google in my daily workflow) with the excerpt they were giving me since what, 2002? I don't have an Android phone, because their Accessibility was lacking behind for almost two decades. They dropped the "Don't be evil" motto. ... Where do I even stop? Google used to be great. Now, all they do for me is to maintain storage for my TV-replacement, YouTube. I say maintain storage, because that is all they do. I can't even meaningfully search that content. I have given up on them. It is over.

I was with you until you started sledging/misdiagnosing people with autism. A bit insulting to insinuate autistic people couldn’t see the value in one side of this argument to be honest.

But I agree with you on the diamond front. I may not be interested in diamonds personally, but it’s a similar parallel - people shouldn’t be confused that may humans would care about the story behind a special item and not just the materials within it, yet some people can’t understand it.

> Looking down the history of other companies that turned over responsibility of their user experience to tech companies - there's not a good track record of long-term successes.

We’re talking about the same auto executives that would sell you a $100k+ car and then try to charge you $200/year for map updates so that the built in navigation wasn’t out of date 1 year into ownership? Those are the guys worried about the tech stack in your car being “abandoned”?

Apologies if I’m skeptical that that aren’t just hoping to use the infotainment as another source of recurring revenue. Especially when they’ve said as much in earnings calls.

I basically never applied a sticker to any laptop I owned until I got a Framework. Just hoarded them like a dragon sitting on his pile of sticker-gold.

Finally figured hey, I might have this laptop more than a single upgrade cycle... it's worth burning a weird sticker or two.

I still try and buck the trend a little--instead of advertising technologies or something, my general goal is that, at first glance, nobody would question anything or think it looks unlike any other developer laptop, but that anyone paying attention will instead be met with a fractal of confusion. E.g., one on there is a "STOP, DROP, AND ROLL" fire safety sticker. In Quebecois French. From a small town volunteer fire department.

I consider it sort of a personal art project and have fun trying to collect up the most "wait, what?" stickers I can.

> Every single time I have had to interact with a PDF it has always been a total disaster.

This is obviously absurd, and we don't know what you really mean. Probably billions of people use PDFs; I expect hundreds of millions use them regularly. I use them all the time, no problem, they work great.

PDFs are also a rare format which is preserved and functions reliably over time (decades) over systems (just about anything you can name). If I have a document I want to read 10-20 or more years in the future, PDF is the best bet.

The far superior presentation of professionally prepared PDFs - layout, typography, formatting, etc - makes a large difference for me when reading long texts. Also, the markup works very well and is also preserved - I can read markup from entirely different systems going back decades, and the annotation I make today I can read in 2050.

> That's beyond "hypertension crisis" and well into "incompatible with life" levels. That's the kind of pressure I see in hydraulic servo feedback channels, not living things.

Blood pressures at this level can be observed from time to time. It’s not an instant death level.

Getting multiple readings is a good idea, but I would caution against picking the reading you like the most as the one which you believe to be correct.

You should also know that there are some conditions where high blood pressure can be transient. Some of these are very serious (tumors which secrete hormones which spike blood pressure). Having occasional scary high readings mixed in with occasional normal readings is actually typical with some of these conditions.

If I had any measurements show up that high I would invest in a cheap at home blood pressure device. They can be as cheap as $20. Then I’d collect a lot of measurements over several days.

This. My personal daily driver of a laptop has a collage on it. My work-issued laptop is a lot cleaner but it has a small red sticker declaring it to be "Editor's Choice Bestseller of the Month".

Several years ago, it was new laptop day at the startup I worked for. We didn't have an office as much as a coworking space. When people went to lunch, they just left their new MBAs on this big communal table. Some shut the lid, some didn't even lock the screen but those would've been taken care of in ~5min.

Anyway, I may or may not have switched some laptops around but the point is someone definitely did. Half an hour later people returned. Some of them were instantly confused. Some of them entered a wrong password a couple of times. Some of them were greeted by an unfamiliar Google Chrome window.

I may or may not have wasted a collective forty or so man-minutes in the span of five but I definitely enjoyed watching the confusion unfold.

Apple is making like 100bn a quarter. 102.4bn last quarter to be exact. 1.3bn in a whole year is indeed something for apple to sneeze at.

And the ramp up is to design and organise manufacture of a whole new phone line. They also would likely have received a hit in sales in general if they didn’t upgrade the design as people would feel insulted and also it would stick out like an ignored pig in the lineup, which isn’t good for apples brand either.

The truth is, you’d likely make the same decision if you were CEO, especially if you have to justify it to shareholders.

> Not actually responding to the essence of the comparison.

The comparison was a bad-faith strawman that did not reflect the conversation here. In that situation a person might be an asshole, possibly even hostile. That does not automatically make these commenters hostile assholes, that's just the height of intellectual laziness.

> Just bad-faith comparisons that equate "Just Be Yourself" stickers with "I hate fags" stickers

No I didn't make that comparison, and you're a nasty and intellectually dishonest person for trying to say I did.

> Again, if you consider a group of people sharing their art between each other and having a conversation about it, and someone comes in and is like "This art is stupid." that is hostile. That is exactly what is happening here.

No that's not hostile. Somebody submitted this content inviting the HN community to comment on it and oh my god not everybody loves it. Some even hate it and are blunt about it. That's not weird hostility, it's people self-expressing their dislike of things in not always polite terms. Like some of these laptop stickers are doing.

Ha, Ha! You and me both.

These are just bombastic claims and empty verbiage which has become "language du jour" in the Interwebs. This came into vogue during the software boom of the 90s when companies started asking for "rah-rah passion" and everybody started making such inane statements to get through interviews.

As for the submitted article, it is just pedestrian (there is nothing in it really) with some pretty posturing/language to sell it.

But some of comments in this thread are informative.

> Unfortunately, in my experience, there's often a lot of barriers within companies to upstream. Reasons can be everything from compliance, processes, you name it...

True. In my case I literally had to fight for it. Our lawyers were worried about a weakened patent portfolio and whatnot. In my case at least I won and now we have a culture of upstreaming changes. So don't give up the fight, you might win.

"UC eliminated its standardized test requirement in 2020."

You may note a correlation with the data showing the remedial class needs skyrocketing after that. Edit: the report notes the same. Obviously there's the confounding factor of Covid, but you would expect the damage to recover by 2024, yet we see that the problem is still getting worse as of the latest data.

You've gone off on some other tangents.

Most people react poorly to the word hypocrite so ChatGPT found[1] some other choice phrases for people that are well off that complain about the better off.

> Why did they deserve the lions share of the profits over their employees?

You appear to live in the US. Ask yourself why those in the US deserve the lions share of world wealth? You seem to be complaining about others while not looking at yourself.

[1] https://chatgpt.com/s/t_69141a5497948191a2d349e803d343c8

Disclosure: I'm well off for a New Zealander but I'm earning less than the median wage my cohort receives in NYC. Taxes total around 45% of my income.

Edit: 1/3 of US households earn over $150k. https://economistwritingeveryday.com/2025/09/17/one-third-of... - It isn't that uncommon in the US but that amount is rather uncommon in most of the rest of the world. I've just been to New Orleans so I saw one poorer part of the US recently so I have some point of comparison.

The obvious problem with nihilism is that ultimately everything is ungrounded and there are no moral truths. Some people are naturally altruistic and feel fulfilled when helping others, others are naturally sadistic and feel fulfilled when torturing others. Nihilism means these are fundamentally equal impulses.

This is why humans invented various religious systems and philosophies to provide grounding for absolute moral beliefs. There's also probably an evolutionary factor at work, where nihilistic societies imploded or were outcompeted by confident cultures which believed absolute moralities. This is being seen today in Europe, with nihilistic progressives having few children, supporting mass migration, resulting in being demographically replaced by absolutist muslims.

Could be. My point is that if the pipeline itself didn't impart an unmistakable character to the generated images, OpenAI would feel compelled to make it do so on purpose.

Most DALL-E 3 images have a orange-blue cast, which is absolutely not an unintended artifact. You'd literally have to be blind to miss it, or at least color-blind. That wasn't true at first -- check the original paper, and try the same prompts! It was something they started doing not long after release, and it's hardly a stretch to imagine why.

They will be doing the same thing for the same reasons today, assuming it doesn't just happen as a side effect.

That's true, but even those non-technical roles are in a totally different league of scope than jury duty.

A jurist has an extremely narrow role: deciding whether the defendant is guilty. The jurist has zero input on the laws or court procedure or sentencing or anything else. The judge is supposed to explain how all those things work to the jury, and hold their hands pretty much the whole time up until the part at the very end, where the jury go off to deliberate and deliver the verdict. The jury is completely passive even when it comes to examining the case itself, which is the job of the lawyers. It's a pretty good system because essentially the whole process is handled by seasoned professionals, except that one crucial part of saying guilty or not guilty.

That's fundamentally different from contributing to open source. Nobody's holding your hand from start to finish, because that would kinda defeat the point of contributing.
