Hey, author/illustrator here. Of course this pops up on HN while I'm on a transatlantic flight.

Thanks for all the nice comments!

I made this specifically for folks who've only used GUIs and are used to having a designed shell around everything they do. That's why I illustrated the windows — at the small expense of readability, the goofiness/friendliness makes the topic more fun and less intimidating.

As shazow mentioned, I'm working on specific Linux (very few changes) and Windows versions (including instructions on using the Linux subsystem), and hopefully doing others on topics like git and whatnot — same model as this one, no signup forms or payments. That said, I am looking for sponsors to help fund my time in making these. If you (or your company) is interested, send me an email at tracy@hellowebbooks.com :)
It's actually better to ride slightly to the left of center (between the center and left tire track). Some cars, will try to squeeze themselves between you and oncoming traffic when you ride in the right tire track. Riding further to the left will make it clear to those behind you that they must change lanes to pass you.
> but it seems some of the features Calamus or Didot had back then still aren't available in mainstream packages even now

What specific features are you talking about?
There's the old story about Steve Jobs and Bill Atkinson where jobs points out rounded corners everywhere: http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Round_Rects_Are_E...

It do wonder how much CPU power, electricity and carbon emissions have gone into rounded corners over the years, only to have square rectangles came back into fashion.
But the lie was overcome by the efforts of countless dietary researchers employed at major institutions, so it was not at all a conspiracy of all the scientists. That is quite the contrary of what the people who have declared war on science are claiming.
At least Brave is consistent with Chrome, as they're both Chromium-based. Phew.
This is true, but every 'modern' DOM that I've seen has loads of extra container divs precisely to allow post hoc layout.
It may not be availability so much as conversational style.

Anecdotal (I would most likely qualify as high-income for the purposes of that study): Most of the time when I am with my now-18-month-old daughter, I give her a lot of authority. If she can say where she wants to go or what she wants to do or what she wants me to do, then in general that's what happens. I have to imagine that creates a great incentive to learn to express your thoughts.
Immunotherapy could help here.
Just declaring that those testing positive for Huntington should never have kids is a form of moral nihilism and skips over the moral conversation heading straight for the governance “solution”. There are plenty of times I’m glad for rights based constitutions and keeping “solutions” like this out of government is one of them.
He actually has an interesting series called The Nature of Order:

Book 1: The Phenomenon of Life (2002)

Book 2: The Process of Creating Life (2002)

Book 3: A Vision of a Living World (2005)

Book 4: The Luminous Ground (2004)
Maybe consider including the results of others' analyses alongside yours? Even more interesting would be a deep-dive into why they disagree. (Adventures in interpretation)

Also maybe do a PCA and show scatter plots of the first two PCs for each doc?

I'm no expert, but these could be fun avenues to explore.
I agree strongly with your final paragraph.
if it helps you can think of intercooler as HTML++, addressing the shortcomings of HTML (only supporting GET/POST, only allowing clicks/submissions to generate requests, only targeting full page replacements, etc.) rather than trying to be something like React.

It isn't right for everything, but it works well for me w/ a rails back end and there are some good theoretical reasons for using HTML if you like REST/HATEOAS. I linked a few articles up thread you can read if you are interested.
Neat! Kernighan really is pleasant listening as noted on that post.
Your example is pretty simple to avoid - don't phase it out so abruptly as to break the incentives to work.
There's no ground truth. :) They were written under a common psuedonym.
yeah, I mock the ajax requests out so I don't have to host a server-side app

you can click on the code tabs and see what's going on, and it should be easy enough to map to whatever backend technology you are using
Ironic bit of advice there, given how personal you're making things. I'm talking about behavioral phenomena that's not even specific to humans. But since we seem to be advising each other, don't personalize things so much; the world's bigger than both of us.
> hypersonic warhead that should fly covered in a plasma fireball

s/warhead/capsule/ and you've just described "normal" for returning from space. I imagine that a warhead is designed to slow down slower, and thus to remain hypersonic farther into the atmosphere, but of course it's possible, it's just a question of how good you can make it.
We were recently approached by a contractor who works behalf the Chinese gov. Basically, they wanted to purchase an insane number of commercial licenses of our embedded computer vision library[1] to implement face tracking (detection and recognition) for a custom OpenBSD fork running on a homegrown CPU architecture with 512MB of RAM. They didn't tell more about this hardware but impression is that is the new generation of street Cameras.

> I wanted to see your GH profile because I simply do not believe that you are what you claim to be.

lol, come on man, do you honestly think I care about proving my accomplishments to random internet strangers? I don't even care about proving it to IRL strangers.

> that "self-aggrandizing noise" is social proof and as I suspected you refuse to provide any

I don't feel like I need to prove anything to you; my statements stand on their own. I also hope the irony of asking a black guy to dox himself in order to prove that he's actually real isn't lost on you. If I had said I was white would you feel the need to ask for proof of my accomplishments? A successful black engineer who disagrees with you is not a unicorn.

> There is always someone like you that attacks what I have done and claims the same but can never provide a single piece of evidence to support their claim.

I'm not sure why you're being so defensive. Seriously, please copy and paste ANYTHING I've said that is attacking you or any of your work. I simply disagree with your assertion that coding is as fundamental to career success as literacy, that's it. I wrote a really long reply with a lot of details explaining my specific reasoning and you completely disregard it in favor of some twisted caricature of my reply that you've decided is a personal attack against you and your work. You're not even hearing what I'm saying so I'll stop here. Good luck on your app.
>Perhaps this "war on science", however naive and inarticulate its proponents, is actually a war on the abuses of technology, such as the parent describes.

No, like in the case of global climate change, the war on science is to enable the abuses of technology, not eliminate it. And that is true for many other cases.

In other cases like evolution and the age of the universe, the motivation is religious, not the abuses of technology. I have read recently that this true for many of the flat-earthers.

I am rather puzzled that you seem to be unaware of the various motivations involved.
“The goal is algorithmic governance,” he added.

Given that the tech isn’t there, maybe the idea is just to say “the algorithm did it” on a national scale. The technology might not be worth much at doing more than providing much wanted pretext for arbitrary action.
Poor choice of words on my part.

For me, using Vue is worth for CRUD pages, trivial pages (pure HTML), etc. There's enough it gives me that even though I don't need it, I enjoy utilizing it in my workflow.

What I was attempting to express is that I understand that for many, it doesn't give them anything in a basic CRUD page, and in fact can add a lot of complexity when you move away from built-ins with the backend framework (like what rails gives you). So, I can get why someone might say "it's not enough".
Correction: Apparently most parts of Expression Studio have been assimilated into Visual Studio, but the point remains: It decreased developer confidence when it was discontinued and nothing was immediately announced as a replacement.
My editor is fully booked and she charges $80—100 / hour. She does have a technical background, but she took a twenty year break to have kids.

As for translation quality; I care. Others do too. though you're right that many don't. In the long run quality wins though.
I've spent literally years living and working in Afghanistan, so I take your comment about as seriously as something I'd see on Infowars.
You could also go super crazy and try to do an LDA (may have to go beyond syntax and lex). Assume each document is a mixture of author influence. :)
As a Boy Scout I am very envious of your cooking class. None of the scouting badges I earned have been very useful. Cooking on the other hand is something I could of used all my life and never really learned until I was in my 30s.

I think the most amount of cooking we did in Boy Scouts was making doughnuts on a trip to the cabin one time.

What is wrong with that sentence? The article looks fine to me.
In a multi thesis discussion (https://www.kialo.com/2027) you can propose different theses.

The problem with evolving theses is that they invalidate a huge amount of claims and require many claims to be edited.

Threads, where you are not fixed on a particular thesis are of course often more fun, but bring their own set of problems. When a thread goes on for long enough, the different strands are discussing entirely different bits and pieces and newcomers are completely lost, plus the mixing of claims and commentary...HN is truly exceptional with regards to the quality of contributions and I agree, reading comments here is often a wonderful learning experience, one of the very few sites, where I first open the comments, then the linked article.

And yes, we are a bit dry. It's a bit like Wikipedia article editing, less like an enthusiastic commenting thread (https://twitter.com/KialoHQ/status/954461988960251904). But given the nature of our topics, we are happy about things being a bit drier. :)

Imagine the outcry if we forbade users to create their own discussions. We wouldn't have that tabs vs spaces debate (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17486949) :)
Hi leafo, thank you for taking the time to write a response to my comment, I genuinely appreciate it. I received a couple downvotes for my comments and I was a bit down about that, but I think your response is very reasonable.

Like I said, I'm not much of a gamer, but your response makes me want to give your platform a try. I think if you're willing to have an open discussion about something for which the outcome might be unknown, things are going well. I certainly wouldn't make any claim to know what the kinds of barriers and limits we should have might be. And I totally understand that it can be very challenging to manage and weight all factors. Realistically, you might get some stuff right and wrong at times. We're only human, after all.

Having been in the tech industry for a few years, my big piece of advice would be to try and be as open as possible. I always find it incredibly frustrating when companies try to cover things up (not accusing you of doing this in the slightest). I think as long as you communicate openly with the community, everyone sensible will see that and be willing to take the time to dig into things.
Actually what I am surprised about is that they even approached you at all. Products manufactured for the domestic Chinese market generally don't need to give a shit about the legal aspects of the GPL. Until somebody successfully sues a Chinese company in a domestic court and wins damages (vanishingly unlikely), BSD, GPL, LGPL, Apache and other licensed open source things will continue to be incorporated into embedded products with no attribution or licensing agreement.
That's not local perspective. Please don't take these threads further into political or national flamewar. They're flammable enough already.
>Where is the NYT article about the US' dystopian dreams?

Huh? The NYT has endless articles about the dystopian dreams of Trump and the Republican party. Or perhaps you an authoritarian who thinks those dreams are actually a utopia.

I agree. It's a real pain to have to search up each app to see even just a single screenshot.

In my experience, some of the app descriptions can be quite cryptic or vague, not really giving enough detail to be sure that a given app does the one thing you care about.

Adding even just a single screenshot to the app listings would make it so much more user-friendly, it would really encourage less techy user to use F-droid too.
Would you please stop posting generic Reddit-style comments to HN? Religious flamewar is off topic here.
You're absolutely correct. Things are just as bad in the US as China, and so we should ignore what is happening in China and instead turn all our attentions inward.
Look at the disaster of data breaches from the Aadhar card deployment as an example of what can go wrong. It's a heady mixture of localized corruption and incompetence.

> I'm saddened by the fact that "modern" desktops are increasingly becoming consumption-only devices.

I have been lamenting the loss of the ability to code as soon as you switched on a computer, ever since I moved from a Commodore 64 to an IBM PC clone. :)

You can’t even use $500+ devices as a simple calculator without an “app.”

We need more stuff like Swift Playgrounds, preinstalled on operating systems, but would people care?

The first thing almost everyone wants to do is open a browser and log on Facebook etc.
I don’t you’d see more than base level noise support to break up China, internally. Probably would not even register 1%. It’s an uncontested tenet for Chinese that they are the descendants and heirs of an uninterrupted, uncorrupted people stretching five thousand years and counting.
> If this is your mentality, don't work for a start-up.

Not all start-ups are the same. My last start-up took VC from a top tier entity and exclusively used common shares for all owners, no exceptions under any circumstances. No special arrangements, every share was the same.

My current start-up will follow the same pattern. No investors will be allowed in without accepting their position as common shares. If they don't like it, they can fuck off. It's important to tell all interested investors how things are going to be up front and to stick rigidly to it. There's enough capital sloshing around right now that the tilt is aggressively in the entrepreneur's favor, use that to your advantage while you have it (it'll last until the next recession).

Build things that don't absolutely require venture capital (but can be accelerated by it if it makes sense). And or build in a very lean manner, to boost your chances. Maximize your leverage by getting as far as you can without venture capital. Under no circumstances allow venture capitalists to have anything other than common shares, with no special arrangements (their money does not get out first). But it limits the prospective VCs? See the first item.
Powerful drugs and paying by the hour seems like they have to be included in the necessary Venn diagram.

I Basically think we all don't have to face all this lies from fake hackers out there, I came across a friend who was seeking for the help of a legit credit repair specialist/ethical hacker.I sharply advice her to contact DARKWEB SERVICE because he help me delete late payments which i incurred as far back as 2016 when i lost my job and was struggling with my finances, blemishes that been on my credit report and two inquiries included, increase my credit score with a value of over 810 which he called a golden score.He also recommended few steps on how to maintain the score for ever and i have been making use of it without going through a stress and now free from scammers.I told my friend to sharply send a message to his email like i said to her earlier on. darkwebcyberservice@gmail.com. I was saved by a lot of stress and hardship through the help of this wizard and i must review him online for those who need his assistants.

lol intercooler does a ton more than barbajs does with almost no javascript, they aren't even comparable

as w/ pjax or turbolinks, barbajs is a fine library, but it isn't trying to create HTML++ and there isn't much REST-ful theory behind it

i'm sure it's good for a lot of stuff though
Is the goal of parents raising children not to prepare them to be adults that can take care of themselves? That's the problem with "helicopter parents", they hold on so selfishly to their role as a parent that they stunt their children's growth and atrophy their capacity for autonomy.

There comes a point in all our lives where we become so old that we become burdensome. If the old never died, there wouldn't be room or resources for new life and ideas to be born and grow. In that sense, it is honorable to meet death, because you are making room for new life.
Dissidents and revolutionaries would hardly be able to do much.

The main weapon of a dissident is public dissent. Mass surveillance doesn't directly prevent that.
It doesn't throw, the unsafe version is just escaped by the browser:

Let's consider a container where a function like `header` would be used:

const page = (title, body) => html`
${header(title)}
<p>${body}</p>
`;

If you use the safe version, you might get:

<h1>Foo</h1>
<p>Bar</p>

but if you use the unsafe version, you'd get:

&lt;h1&gt;Foo&lt;/h1&gt;
<p>Bar</p>

This is what us older people would like to believe. Meanwhile the young webdevs are having a blast ignoring us and building the apps of the future.
Yes, they really don't care about any open source license. In fact, they are notorious for GPL violation.

What they were looking for is the Real-time face detector implemented directly in the C code which is available only for the commercial version of the library (https://pixlab.io/downloads).
Yes, but if computational cost is a concern there are other options.
Your logic is not sound, you say welfare is not so much, but if the job doesn't pay enough and you choose to stay on welfare is because it has more money than the job/raise.

There are cases where welfare will double your income, it's a lot of money for free.

Anyways, I was comparing to Brazil, where the assistance is very low, and you are way better off with a job.

Yet the propaganda there is that the US is terrible for the poor.

Google welfare cliff and you'll see people getting thousands of dollars a month.

I've known people in the US that say they can't afford to get a raise.

And when I tell Brazilians that some Americas are better off without a raise they don't believe me.
Have you read “Buddhism, plain and simple”?

I agree with much of your original comment (and I think it's lame that it's downvoted); uncritical acceptance of information within one's own groupthink is definitely a problem. But I very strongly disagree with your characterization here of their attempt to get the other side of the story. Here's the relevant line from the article:

> The United States Embassy in Quito declined to make Mr. Chapman available for an interview.

Mr. Chapman is Todd C. Chapman, the Ambassador to Ecuador[0]. He was a primary actor in the actions discussed in the article. Ambassadors absolutely aren't "too low level to comment", and your characterization of an article with a no-comment from a high-ranking primary actor in the events discussed as "the default assumption is that the newspaper didn't ask for a comment" is absurd.

I also haven't been able to find any alternative explanation for this on the State Department's press site[1]. It might be there though; I'm not a journalist and I find that site maddening to navigate, so I gave up pretty quickly. But like your parent commenter said, this is a discussion site, if you have a good source for the other side of this story, I and many others here are likely to be all ears.
