Thank you for your very candid response.

I trust that you'll take my comments in good faith.

Smart people often tend to assume extremes of the people they're talking to - either that they're very smart, like themselves, or very dumb. Naturally, there's a spectrum.

Having strong opinions, as you note, can sometimes put people off -- but you say that when you try to discuss them you feel attacked. I felt from your comments in this thread that you weren't here to discuss [your opinions]. I may be misinterpreting, of course, and it'd be up to you to decide if this, and other exchanges are going as you'd expected.

I appreciate the appeal of like-minded individuals -- though I've yet to find any : ) -- and I'm cheered to see that you're wary of the echo chamber risk. If it's a genuine concern, rather than hyperbole, that it may (have) led to some extreme anti-social / violent incidents, then I'd strongly and seriously encourage you to talk to people more experienced than randos on HN.
what, exactly does electron get us over native apps? Be specific. I've used them, they look and feel like most other apps, but tend to be slower and more buggy.
You should still wait for having something good enough before presenting it, or people will have bad first experience...
Hubris. Which is one of the three great virtues of a programmer.
No, they want to increase how much that 20% share is worth.

If premiums increase from e.g. $500 to $600/month, the insurance company makes $20 more per insured via their 20% share.

The other 80% ($480) really does go towards medical costs, but the issue is that insurance companies aren't incentivized to help you keep those medical costs down (via negotiation with hospitals/drug companies), but may be incentivized to increase them. That's a problem.

In an ideal world insurance company's incentives and their customer's goals should be aligned (e.g. both save money). That makes them the ultimate advocate for you and fighting to keep healthcare costs low, that isn't what is happening (either before or after Obamacare).
At a certain point so many people are going to be on one "list" or another that the purpose is completely defeated (well, one wonders if that's not already the case).
The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense; they imagine it to be a high wall of safety.

You're missing that you're a technically skilled individual, and most browser users are not. The design decisions must cater to the unskilled, because they will not opt in manually. By default most OSes will use their ISP's DNS, and this will very often be insecure and compromised in some way.
But it's a bit clunky. I was running searches through an embedded webbrowser in a c# application, which is really an embedded internet explorer and was very quickly presented with a captcha. It was a human viewing the results, but a script constructing the query string, but that was enough the be labelled as a crawler.
What doctrine? It's a jumble of unrelated phrases of which anyone might quite plausibly accept some and not others.
>They want to be a GM, GE, ConEd, Exxon and Uber rolled into one.

They have a long way to go to be compared to any single one of those companies, let alone all of them combined.

Betting on any company to be the biggest in the history of history is a fool's errand.

>But you can't judge them based on your own made-up ideas and standards.

I can't judge them by my standards? News to me.
I enjoy them too. I remember when the prequels were announced sometime around 1998 or 1999. I literally cheered on my couch. Some are better than others of course, but they are still very entertaining.
This doesn't solve the problem. Those resolvers are also unencrypted.
This whole Justice Department going after cash instead of convictions can be blamed largely on Eric Holder.

Matt Taibbi writes about this extensively in one of his books, I can't remember which, but the main points are included in this article for anyone interested.

As far as I'm aware or have ever been taught, they're one in the same -- "presumption of innocence until proven guilty".
I agree that there is a difference on what kind of weapon one works on. I clearly view chemical weapons as both horrible to use and useless as a deterrent. However, I can't claim I have the moral authority to dictate what falls across the line with perfection. Thus I am not going to judge other people's decisions with such passion.
This goes for any new project name. Does anyone simply just Google first? If there are a hundred thousand results, choose a new name.
Also it's generally operated by private companies or public-private partnerships (I was actually listening on the radio to someone saying that one reason so much military/intelligence work was being contracted out was that it was harder to get information through FOIA requests and the like).
AdGuard app on android also allows dnscrypt to route all the phone communications go through the dns crypt servers encrypted without rooting.
I sometimes wish the USA would have learned the same lessons from WWII as e.g. Germany did:

See, if your military or government is killing people, and you work for them, assist them, or let them, you are also killing people. We have a saying: "Imagine it's war and nobody shows up".

I fear this discussion is about if you follow the narrative that US military drone strikes are a purely defensive measure, unavoidable, or serve some greater cause. Large parts of the general public outside of the US at least are of the opinion the US military and associated mercenary companies have been (and still are?) killing (innocent) people on the other side of the world, for dubios reasons. Helping them build weapons, under this assumption, equals helping them kill people.

Even the most accurate AK-47 is intended to kill people.
I just came back from Japan, crows all over Tokyo, but they are pretty much disappear after 9 AM, if you're an early riser you will see them everywhere!
California testing digital license plates
> but: any other declarative (like qml) gui frameworks out there in Linux land?

I don't see how the license is a problem. It used to be not 100% open source but it is now, and it has a commercial license if you don't want to open source your program. You can also dynamically link to LGPL versions of the library from your program. [1]

In any case, to answer the question, you have guile gnome [2] which sort of does the same thing but in a scheme language.

Can you try to formulate those values?

I donate money to the AMF and SCI charities mentioned in the article.

But I might also donate to the charity that supports my cousin who has cerebral palsy, because I can see with my own eyes that they're doing good work; and because it's work I'd like to see continue.

Or I might donate to the charity that gave me a scholarship when I was younger, to repay them and so other people can benefit like I did.

Or I might donate to Wikipedia, because although it's hard to value wikipedia page views in terms of quality-adjusted life years saved, you can surely get a great many page views for your dollar.

Or maybe my colleague in work is running a marathon for charity, and although our professional relationship wouldn't be damaged at all if I didn't donate, our professional relationship would be improved if I did; perhaps I see a possibility to leverage better relationships into success at work.

Or I might consider that I have fully discharged my moral duty for this financial year by donations I've already made; and hence I can spend money on things that are utterly uncharitable if I feel like it, and spending money on things that are inefficiently charitable is relatively better than that.

Or I might donate to a political organisation, because I think I directly benefit from their activism....
Congratulations on making a successful release. Kudos to you!

I am going to post a concern regarding the increasing layers of abstraction which is not at all directed at your project but at this domain of managing containers, in general, and the never-ending increase in complexity.

So first we find it difficult to manage so many virtual machines, we got Docker which was a good concept.

Then we found it difficult to manage so many Docker-based services so we got Docker Swarm and Kubernetes.

Now it is difficult to manage Kubernetes, so we have got a new project to manage Kubernetes.

Is there any way to break out of this cycle?
But in the past did the elites have a protection force as comprehensive and organized as the one they have now, all funded by the very people it is protecting them from?
Centralized known_hosts for ssh
It is rare that we can say any society is completely free or completely unfree; there are degrees of freedom.
I don't see how this improves privacy. Yes, my local ISP, whose DNS I'm using, knows the domains I'm connecting with. They most likely can also access this info in cleartext in other ways, if they care enough. For instance through SNI.

Beyond my ISP, it's doubtful that unencrypted nature of DNS has any impact on my privacy due to heavy caching and the fact that my requests are merged together with requests from many other users.

With DNS over HTTP a single third-party overseas now gets access to this list of domains I'm connecting with. It all just seems like a thinly veiled attempt at more centralization of internet services. Yes, my residential ISP and my coffee shop, library, etc. don't have these "very strong privacy agreements". But I think it's less likely they will all combine their logs to track my behavior than a single centralized entity.
All wars are about resources.
Almost completely true, bioweapons would actually be something certain tiny countries are really good at.

But many have actually signed treaties not to use them (I believe even to not develop certain kinds).

Actually the more advanced our technologies get the bigger the threads.
South Korean government censors DNS of North Korean websites. (I think this is stupid and South Korean government should stop immediately.) I tested Firefox DoH implementation and it does circumvent South Korean censorship.
The term was common at CMU in the TOPS-20 days, as a synonym for "superuser". I remember office doors with names and designations like "big wheel" and "training wheel", etc.

#1 is not unique to corporate acquisitions. Think of it like a real estate mortgage. You can buy an apartment complex with 25% down and finance the other 75% as long as the building produces 1.25x the debt payment in free cashflow. The key is having enough cushion in the cahsflow to account for value-add "repairs" like remodeling stores or launching a new product to maintain/grow cashflow.

If an LBO is done properly, like Michael's, it's a win for everyone. Old shareholders don't lose their shirt due to an unsustainable valuation tanking, lenders get paid back, and new shareholders aren't tied to the same old valuation because they financed the acquisition and only invested a percentage of the sale price. The trick is identifying which poorly-performing companies are just overvalued and can be transformed into strong performers at a different price-point, and which companies are just headed for the gutters.
But time and money is a real constraint for projects. It's hard enough writing native Android, native iOS, and a web app to boot without also having to write native Mac, Linux, and Windows and dealing with all the cross platform UI quirks on Qt.
> If you do, have them. They will not starve and you won't either.

Plenty of Americans live in poverty, and plenty of kids go hungry every day. "Have kids, things will magically turn out fine" is terrible advice. "Have kids and start a company, two of the most stressful things a person can do" is also terrible advice.

Congratulations on the birth of your son, and I wish you and your family all the best; I've got a two year old tot at home, and I love her and I'm glad I have her. But it's not for everyone, and not all times are equally good to start a family.
You can't condone it because you'd prefer "DNS over TLS" or a you have a notion that DNS shouldn't have other headers before it because it's a core protocol and should reimplement the functionality it needs frome TLS?

In the case of the former I agree, the browser should be doing this over TLS as HTTP isn't giving any additional protocol functionality. In the case of the latter the purpose of protocol encapsulation isn't that the most important comes first it's that you can abstract service layers instead of remaking them for each new thing.
>Wouldn't you agree that the harder someone works, the greater their chance of becoming rich?

No.

>You seem to argue that the OP has absolutely no claim to the wealth that he has worked for and his preferable situation is due entirely to luck.

Well let's start from the base. Do you think someone has a claim to wealth that they earned entirely due to luck?

>This is of course preposterous and easily disproved, so I'm curious to know what your answer to this question is.

I'm not sure how it's easily disproved. Again from the base. It's easily seen that a one day old baby's station in life is entirely due to luck. Two days old, two months old, two years old, all the same, all luck. At some point though we begin taking luck, say being born to hard-working parents who helped you develop a hard-work ethic, and label it a personal achievement. In this way we successfully launder privilege into "merit."

>Assuming your answer is, "no, not entirely" then my follow up question would be, do you believe that his situation is due _mostly_ to luck, and only marginally to his hard work? This is a more interesting question and one I would be interested in discussing assuming it's your take on the matter.

I actually think his situation is due entirely to luck.
There's nothing shameful about donating to the Make-A-Wish foundation. It's certianly better to donate there than to spend the money on booze, video games, fancy clothes, etc or the vast majority of things competing for your money. But you still get far less moral credit for donating there than donating somewhere more effective. And yes, you can count the effects of the Foundation on the kids support network but remember that a kid who dies of malaria also has friends and family who will be affected by their death.
The site ranking algorithm is a solved problem.

The one reason Google is competitive is due to them taking advantage of the cheap labour that keeps track of ranking manipulation.

Luckily most of the search problems have nothing to do with ranking manipulation.
most of my code is in Python (there are Qt bindings). That said, I'm interested in webassembly, and can also write javascript. I just don't think that browsers or javascript-based apps present a preferred alternative to native apps developed by teams who consider long-term API stability and getting the right regulatory boxes checked.
Hmm, I have a feeling this feature will be opt out one day.

One more thing to remember to turn off in Firefox, if you're running your own DNS over TLS with more elaborate config than what will be in Firefox.

One thing I like about this DNS over TLS is that now it should be possible to route DNS requests over tor safely to a more trusted DNS resolving endpoint. Though I haven't yet checked how it would work with Cloudflare.

Will I have to solve google captacha per handful of DNS requests if I try to access 1.1.1.1 from tor? Anyone tried?
Allegro and Lispworks are proprietary with product support provided by the vendors, SBCL and Clozure are opensource. Allegro and Lispworks have their own IDEs and some proprietary libraries bundled in (e.g. CAPI which is probably the best option for cross-platform GUI for this language), while SBCL and Clozure both rely on SLIME and Quicklisp. SBCL produces fastest x86-64 machine code, as far as I know. Clozure has superior macOS support, as it used to be owned by Apple before they spun it off and was generally Mac-centric throughout its history.
Note that some modules are not available under the LGPL. You don't get charts, data visualisation or any of the embedded tooling.

LGPL does not require the project to be LGPL. It simply means that you must provide users means to link your program to a version of Qt that they've compiled, or you provide the source of the Qt distribution that you compiled to build your application. You can have a commercial, closed-source, application using LGPL Qt.

"A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License."

Contrary to popular belief you can even statically link an LGPL library and remain closed source, but you may need to distribute your object files so that someone can statically link a different library version with your code.

I'm not sure what happens if you modify Qt in some way though, presumably you're still covered if you release the modifications you made.

The best to maximize income? One of those places in middle America or Alaska that pay people to live and work there. Work remotely on something boring so that you can spend the rest of your time investing your savings. Live in a small part of your house and rent the rest out to people if you can find tenants.

I mean, if we're JUST talking about maximizing income here and not anything else, this is the way to go.

Ask HN: Web framework choice paralysis and commitment
I have been doing web dev professionally for 8 years. I started as I love to make things. I mostly make web apps & APIs.

I have since hit a wall, I am struggling to make things. Not because I am out of ideas, but because I am paralysed by languages and frameworks. I am struggling with filtering and the Fear of Commitment.

I know many think frameworks are a curse, but after years of hand rolling, I want one. It’s a blocker for me wanting to make new things that almost always need auth, emails, and billing.

Question: What language(&web framework) would you recommend I invest in, as someone that enjoys making over the art of programming?

Now I use Node. It has allowed me to build cool things, at a great cost. Having to hand roll a lot of things is insecure and very time consuming when you’re trying to make things quickly.

I have since been looking for alternatives

Go: A wonderful language, maybe my favourite, but ultimately falls short where Node does - no mature frameworks, with added verbosity.

Ruby&RoR: It appears to be on the decline, although it’s hard to see through all the click bait articles. I wish I had learned Ruby & RoR years ago, I was burned by the complaints that it was not fast enough, but nothing I have made has needed to care about the speed! ;)

Elixir&Pheonix: Looks promising, same hype that RoR had when it was growing. Though this is where the Fear of Commitment enters. I know so little about Erlang and the origins of Elixir that this would be a great leap of faith.

PHP&Laravel: My first programming language. Laravel looks like it has come a long way and is extremely feature rich, but the PHP language never sat well with me.

Python&Django: I have never touched a line of Python, I have heard great things them, but this would be a completely fresh start for me, the same issue that Elixir presents, but with a much more mature language and framework.

Thanks.
I used this at some point on my Fedora laptop. I had issues on some hotel APs where it didn't allow me to see the 'login page' of the AP.

What's the way to circumvent this problem? I'm frequently on public wifi's, so I need to access AP login pages without issue.
>There are no get rich quick schemes. That's just someone else getting rich off you.

Eh. There are a handful, they're just unethical and sometimes illegal. E.g. https://www.aqr.com/cliffs-perspective/virtue-is-its-own-rew... explains how you can easily beat the market by investing in sin stocks.

Similarly, you can make money really quickly if you mess around with grey market goods, shady affiliate networking products, "health" products, etc. But every so often some of those guys get busted.

The short answer is that we don't know how to economically stockpile energy created by solar panels for the winter.

I just set my house up to be very close to "net zero" with electric heating and one plug-in vehicle, but the system works by overproducing in the summer and underproducing in the winter.

The cost would be double or triple if the system had batteries and was capable of generating enough energy to heat my home in the winter.
