At sunsed.com we are 100% dedicated to create the best blogging (and in the near future, a full CMS) platform. We hope to re-energize the world of self-publishing with a managed solution that lets you import/export to any other CMS/Blogging platform!

Right now we are working on an IDE inside SunSed so anyone can create their own template with HTML++ (our own templating/programming language).

Here is a screenshot of of our IDE (I'm working on it right now):

We are going to announce HTML++ and SunSed 2.0 on HN in the next few months.

Happy hacking & blogging!
You generate a new CSR + private key and reissue the cert through the vendor. All the ones I've purchased allow reissuing as often as you like. The expiration date never changes obviously, but reissuing is a common practice.

Your above reasons why for Rust basically all apply to Haskell too, except it's higher level and garbage collected, which is why I think Haskell is the best language to write a web service in.

But, you could write embedded software, device drivers and even operating systems in Rust, that's the domain where Rust could and hopefully will dominate.

Pact!
(Shameless plug follows)

Take a look at my own Haskell operating system project Hos (https://github.com/tathougies/hos). Written in Haskell 98 using the JHC compiler (a bit outdated, but makes it easy to generate ANSI C from Haskell sources). Currently supports multi-tasking, interrupts, paging, garbage collection. Has the beginnings of a simple user-space ATA driver.

Patches welcome. E-mail me at travis@athougies.net if you want help setting up a development environment!
Bing powers Siri, and I assume now powers all of the internet search functions (unsure about Safari.) So I wonder if Microsoft paid this amount, or if Apple decided that less money made more sense so they could harm their competitor?
There's now institutional money like ARPI or AMH chasing rentable properties at attractive cap rates. So liquidity for distressed properties is at least somewhat better.
Eh, not everywhere. For example, in much of the Southeast US, it's still perfectly legal to smoke in certain places. There are increasing restrictions and legislative tweaks, of course. But it's still acceptable to smoke indoors in establishments that decide to only accept patrons > 21 years old, for instance.

Title is misleading. Google didn't pay up front to keep the search bar, but rather agreed to share a percentage of the revenue generated, which ended up being $1B.
Is your 99% figure hyperbole, or do you have a source for it?
Architecture designed in the 70's to run common stuff on terrible computers was necessarily bad. There was solid architecture from 1960's-1980's that was great for management, reliability, security, and so on. HW was too expensive. The alternatives flourished on minicomputers and personal computers with tons of software built on them. Legacy effects took over from there with nobody able or willing to re-engineer everything from scratch or even existing, complex code.

So, yes they suck. Yes superior architectures or languages of the time are worth copying or adopting over the knockoffs created due to hardware deficiencies. This is often even provable where one can look at problems that crop up in technology X caused by design point Y that's prevented by alternative design Z. And one of those alternatives was from 1961. ;)
No company is paying people below minimum wage... it's literally the minimum wage.
There's nothing in a REPL incompatible with static typing. Haskell, Swift, and Hack by FP all have interpreters with type provers.

But it's quite a lot of work to get acceptable OS performance if your entire system is interpreted or has to be JIT compiled all the time. People who do that tend to coincidentally decide they're so hardcore they don't even need JPEG support, video, or web browsing…
Always was fascinated by Forth. There is a trend of going back to roots, I wouldn't mind seeing Forth finding it's place.
Cool hack, but an even better solution would be for Electron to support userstyles (and scripts). I won't be surprised if we gradually standardize on Electron or something like it for cross-platform desktop apps, and it would be great for them to be as hackable as the web.
damn i miss groklaw.

> Stack something on your desk to make it a standing desk. This can be helpful if you're worried about slouching over too much. You can be a ghetto as you want here; even a bunch of books is better than nothing.

Do pay attention to ergonomics when you do this. I have a desk that I can raise at work, but it doesn't go to quite the right height. If I try to type at this height, I start noticing my wrists quickly. I do not want to deal with any repetitive stress injuries.

That said, it's awesome to work in a different posture sometimes.
Really nice hack. Unrelated, by I checked out your startup https://hund.io. My question is... Why not just use https://StatusPage.io? They are launched, funded, refined, and the de-facto standard. What is your value prop?
AFAIK Electron has always been cross platform. But yes it is very much on available on Mac.
I was actually thinking of process linking. Any groups of processes can be linked. Processes that are linked together -- die together.

You're right, but I think it's an acceptable risk.

pact wakes up every second to check that every process is still there. If the process is gone, it sets the procChanged field in the struct, and it won't kill it later.
I thought Siri only used Bing because Google doesn't allow services like Siri to use google.com?
Sure: Minimum wage is too high and the market should set it, not government.

BTW, when I started working minimum wage was under $4/hr. Within four years I was making over 6 times that much. Two years later, over twelve times. Another four years had me at 25 times minimum wage.

The secret? I worked and studied hard. I took nothing for granted and $4 per hour was not enough to be comfortable.
This is an operating system. Efficiency is a feature, and this project is a bunch of hooey.
Absolutly agree, i spent months and months working on a contract in italy, writting c/c++ on keyboards without { or }
. The only way to get it on the italian layout seemed to be to use A-123 and A-125, it drove me nuts. Eventualy i had to bring my own keyboard from the UK. because the bits of paper glued to the keys kept falling off.

I think you're mistakingly assuming the kind of person who would do this would provide a similar (or any kind of) quality of life to their kids that you would.

I know of 3 small children in my own life whose parents collect welfare, and are meth addicted.
To me it's not so much Java that's the problem, it's the kind of programmer it seems to foster. The language itself is simple enough, so people invent all kinds of architectural bullshit and overengineer everything to hell to appear smart. As a result you get code that replaces compile time errors with run-time errors, and it's fucking impossible to debug or understand because everything needs three dozen libraries and five hundred classes before you can even start doing anything worthwhile.

This is not Java's fault, per se. You can write simple, performant, sane code in it. It's just that 95% of people choose not to.

I have a feeling that this is part of the reason why Go is gaining popularity (even though I dislike Go as well, for different reasons): much of this garbage (such as DI frameworks, AOP/runtime bytecode modification out the wazoo) are either impossible or deliberately inconvenient there, and writing overly complicated code is socially unacceptable.
You're totally right, just checked. Never even crossed my mind that they wouldn't be. Updated the post.
Neat project, good luck with it. I think I'll stick with Hugo, it's freaky-fast and postcss breaking CSS into an AST makes it really modular. Power moved from js into css which I'm okay with (and browsers are too).

As for git. The reason these blogs are so heavy is because editing text files for most people requires a text editor interface on the http which in turn means you need dynamic content whicn in tern means you need a database which in tern means you need a way to submit this code so php which in t... and down the rabbit hole goes. If you get rid of the "editing files requires a text editor" part, then your site is easy and maintainable.

Git I think is a bit more programmer-focused of an api for random blogger joe, but a light wrapper might work. Maybe something like emailing a server with subject "POST: title of blog post" body "text for post" and having the server grab that data from the email, if it came from an allowed user, throwing it into the posts/ folder, git committing it and then deploying it to an apache server on itself. Actions like "delete", "edit" would just search for files with the exact name as in the subject and do the required git action on it.

Something like this could probably work. Email clients already have the text editor users want, why rebuild the wheel? If there was someway to wrap this all up without requiring users actually host their own entire email, I think it would be nice. I think teaching your mom git is a pipe dream unfortunately even if it would fix the Copy-of-Copy-of-Birthday-List_OLD2.txt problem.
China’s rapidly shrinking working-age population
I like the idea of Jekyll, but I don't like Jekyll itself (I'm pretty sure I have a severe allergic reaction to Ruby).

Something I have yet to see but that I think would be perfect would be a client-side single-page-app that served as a s3-backed static site generator.

Navigate to MyStaticWebsiteGenerator.io (or download it, or self-host it, or clone the repo, it's a simple js-based SPA preferably packaged as a stand-alone ".html" file). AWS credentials (IAM of course) are either stored encrypted in LocalStorage (or Websql or indexeddb or who knows what we are supposed to be using) or queried on demand. It would interact with s3 directly (there is a browser based js api for aws) to manage and modify files directly (multi-user contention and eventual consistency be damned - for small sites it's simply not an issue), and when appropriate, generate/regenerate the static files. Because everything is done client side, the webserver itself never sees or cares about your aws credentials.

Clearly, being a "static site generator", only the admin interface would be JS based, the user-facing generated content would be static. [For some reason every post i've seen doing something remotely similar wants their mostly static content to be rendered at runtime in their js app???]

With prosemirror under active development you should soon be able to have a simple js based WYSIWYG rich text editor that generates nice clean Markdown to feed into your template of choice (à la Jekyll). Your end-users don't need to know markdown or care, they just get a fairly basic rich text editor. Give them a simple interface for defining a website's structure and bob's your uncle.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who thinks this way.

I think he means whether the Slack app is using Electron on OS X. At one point they used MacGap.
Pretty much. And Apple had to roll its own maps because Google would not allow Siri to use maps. Apple Maps are pretty darn good by now, so I think it's safe to assume that Apple started building their own search engine for Siri well before it made a deal with Microsoft, and Bing is a stop-gap measure. Apple likes to own its core technologies.

Sure. But I meant for each region, show the underlying resolution of that area. So like for FFT of a whole sample vs FFT of short periods to make a spectrogram.
As a blog consumer, rather than producer, I also have reservations about Medium-esque sites, but from the opposite perspective.

There's already an infinite quantity of interesting content to read, and it seems reasonable to expect rising quantities of worthwhile, as I find writing and creations that I was unaware of when they were being made. With all this stuff, I want to be able to control where and when I read, and how I filter, manage, follow, and store all this stuff. At some point, platform operations reflect a business plan, and that plan may or may not allow for one or more of my preferences, for reasons of $. I guess I just prefer a relationship where a standard or pseudo-standard allows the user control, to select differing vendor options at the very least.

Then again, as I'm barely capable of managing a basic server install, I'm fully aware of why people throw in with hosted systems. I'm hoping for great things from stuff like Sandstorm.
Sure, but I wasn't talking about what it takes to be the best in your field. I was talking about what it takes to even be given a fair shot. (Original comment: "If you didn't spend a lot of time with computers on your own before college, you're not in the running.")

Are you helping anyone by attempting and failing to help 20?

If not, then help a number you can actually help. Apply a selection process: triage, sortition, intuition. Whatever.

Someone's going to get helped, someone's not.

If you've got additional bandwidth, make loudly known that there are more people who need help, and that others should step forward.

It's rather like emergency first-responder practices. First ensure you're safe yourself. Then save who you can. Avoid wasting time on helpless cases, or those who can survive without help. Recruit others.
A phone had McAfee on it? I can't imagine how slow and painful it was to use that.

This is the best argument for a High Level Language OS that I've seen yet.
I think the lawsuit is ridiculous but from reading that article it feels like Oracle has a decent case if all that matters is convincing a judge.

The space race argument and the revenue figures sound like a good enough simplistic argument to score a decent settlement (imo). I hope Google hardballs this but I have a feeling they won't.
The CNAME doesn't resolve for me either. I can't see whatever this is.

Who, and by what metric, determines what "unhealthy food" is? We've all seen plenty of disagreement within nutrition science. Many people take positions that are somewhat more philosophical than scientific. Some foods may only be unhealthy in specific quantities, or in combination with other foods in specific quantities.

Furthermore, there are medical conditions--and even treatments for medical conditions--that can cause obesity that have nothing to do with a person's diet. Should the people suffering from these situations be charged more for their health insurance?

Here's a real-world example:

A friend of mine's wife was, at the time they discovered she was pregnant, diagnosed with leukemia. It has been the most awful thing I've witnessed in some time. A mid-five-foot woman, who probably barely weighed 120 pounds, after months of different treatments, wound up with a host of medical complications, then further treatments. This all wound up causing her to gain what looked like probably 100+ pounds. Last year, they paid over $18K in out-of-pocket medical expenses.

It seems unconscionable to me to advocate my friend and his wife should have to pay more for health insurance because she's now technically obese. They can already barely survive (she cannot work, and he spent 5 months unemployed last year).

Bottom line: very few things are simply black-and-white. There are so many shades of gray. The real world is full of myriad complications and counterexamples that ought to help us realize we can't just draw simplistic lines in the sand based on silly, poorly conceived premises. Oh sure, it sounds good when the idea pops in your head, especially when it doesn't affect you--always because your conception doesn't ever include you. But it's bound, like all things, to come down with undeserved and unbalanced harshness on somebody. And that leads to having to probe whether or not these ideas are just and fair. Oftentimes, they are not.
I never did find a self-hosted blogging system that I liked, so I just made my own. Basically just githooks+php into a small, mostly html site. I wanted something simple and easy, and could be used from almost any browser (even lynx!)

IMO, lots of blogging platforms add completely unnecessary cruft. Some people may want it, and it definitely can be useful, but not for me.
My daughter and her husband put hydrogen peroxide in the ears and claim that it makes a big difference. I was skeptical, to say the least, but after reading all this I think I might have been wrong. It might do something.
Every router I've ever seen has a pretty clear setup option for creating a hidden network.

Hidden networks are even less private, because then every client device has to probe repeatedly to see if the network is there.
Look, guys, some of you are all wound up, concerned, alarmed about the effect on the climate of CO2 from human activities and, thus, are eager to reduce burning of fossil fuels.

Well, since you are concerned, I have some really good news for you. For your concerns, the news is much better than anything from research on solar cells, energy storage, wind farms, geothermal energy, nuke energy, carbon-taxes, etc.

The news is really, really simple and says how to address your concerns in the best way, absolutely, positively the best way possible.

In three posts in this thread, I've given a reference to a quite well done BBC video available at YouTube.

The secret solution, best possible for your concerns? Sure: Do nothing. Absolutely nothing. Do zip, zilch, and zero. Totally f'get about it.

Why? Because as in the video, CO2 has nothing at all to do with the climate -- in any meaningful sense at all. None. All details are in the video. It's like you had some doctors tell you you had a very sick child and then a week later told you that it was all a mistake, that some lab tests got mixed up, and, in fact, your child is fully healthy.

And from CO2, the earth is fully healthy.

Again, why? Because in fact, CO2 has no effect at all meaningful. It didn't in the past several hundred thousand years, isn't now, and won't for the foreseeable future.

Best news you can get. Why? Because to save the planet from the dangers of CO2, you don't need to work on solar, wind, nukes, carbon-taxes, home insulation, subsidies, EPA shutdowns of coal plants, have cold houses in the winter and hot houses in the summer, etc. All those things you were doing to save the earth from CO2, you get to stop all of them.

Now, is this a happy day for you?

I'm not joking.

Watch the movie. If you have any questions, then post them here and I will respond.

Actually it is much harder to tax income than wealth hence why there is so much tax avoidance. The simplest way is tax the asset directly and let who ever owns it pay the tax. The block of land is taxed, the bank account is taxed, the bond is taxed, the factory is taxed, the truck is taxed, the cow is taxed, the patent is taxed, the copyright on a movie is taxed, etc, etc.

If you did this you would not need a very high tax rate (my guess is something around 1%) and it would encourage efficient allocation of assets. Of course the owners of all these assets won’t be happy and since they are very powerful this idea has zero chance of ever being adopted.

525 cal
1.5 g salt

Multiply by ~3.8:

380g:

Your mileage may vary, but in Norway, a typical bag of chips contains more than 3.5g of salt per 2000 calories.

Right, that's exactly a paradox/error that the Copenhagen critique elucidates: two groups have (basically) the same effect on the world (providing the opportunity to have regular work to do in exchange for money), but you only rebuke one of them, since they're doing it for profit.

I can think of logical reasons to justify distinguishing them, but I rarely see such reasons made explicit. (One reason might be that there's a greater incentive to cut corners on worker treatment when you're for profit rather then just doing it out of the goodness of your heart, but that would justify at most tighter oversight, not moral condemnation of doing the thing at all, as we normally see.)
