>I went through the examples one by one to see if I could find any articles for reading at these sites, or whether they were purely visual sites. Keeping in mind the orginal discussion is about just reading articles where no automatic video playing is necessary (and presumably no graphics either).

A user has no reference point to whether a site is going to be a visual-based site or a reading-based site if a blank page is served to them. On HN, I get a brief description of the site through a title and a link to the site. Here's my first opinion of each of these sites with the HN information I have to go off of (note: I often browse using /newest , so I'll ignore user comments for the most part as I'd likely try visiting the site before there are even comments on the HN post).

isfiberreadyyet.com was posted with no description and was merely a link in response to an HN post. It could have been an entire essay about whether or not fiber is ready or even a simple Yes/No page like iscaliforniaonfire.com or isitchristmas.com which is what I was expecting to see when I clicked it.

zencastr.com mentions recording so I assumed it would use the Web Audio API. I'm not given any further explanation of what the site does when I visit the web page. I'm only told to enable Javascript because I need to (and not why I need to), which isn't going to convince me to enable Javascript.

belowthesurface.amsterdam was posted on HN with the title "Below the Surface – Finds from an archaeological project in the River Amstel". That sounds like it's going to be a lot of pictures with explanations of their history from an archaeological project in the River Amstel.

>We can access the pages of text directly as json from the CDN

The epitome of user friendliness for sure. All you need to do is know that you're looking for a "cdn" link in the Javascript file you access by opening up developer tools. Even my grandmother could figure that one out!

blog.stgolabs.net was posted with the title "Linux v4.15: Performance Goodies". This sounds like it's going to be a blog about the Linux 4.15 update, specifically about performance improvements made. Again, the user friendly method of reading this information is to poke around in the source code and already have half an idea of what you should be looking for (in this case, the "meta - alternative" link). The point of working without Javascript is to be user friendly without Javascript. One way of doing that is to serve the user content, even with Javascript disabled.

In the thread pricehipster.com was posted in, jazoom at least mentions that they have been using React/Vue so I can expect the site to be broken with JS disabled. My brief description is that people quickly glance at prices (taken from: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17467842 ) -- it's the worst example on the list because it's the only one that isn't misleading and is expected to be a blank page before I even click on it.
Europe’s human rights court to hear challenge to UK’s bulk surveillance regime
Or, you know, abstract the application layer and then apply the TLS layer on top of it so that it can be secured, but not effect the application code/logic.
Your argument strongly depends on a narrow view of the word "natural". Could you explain why your definition of natural is useful in this context?

Suicide isn't new or specific to humans, so calling it "unnatural" seems unnecessarily silly to me.
Sounds like it's only meta-data of emails, not actual content when TLS is used.
The maps know where every house is so the software simply has to route to those coordinates. We know it works because Google Maps and all the others I tried do it already. So all that is needed is to get the coordinates for each address, ask the api for the time between each possible pair of locations plug it in to your favourite travelling salesman solver and start driving. This is hardly a difficult task, especially as pretty much all of it is already done by various companies already.

For instance https://www.mapquest.com/routeplanner. It only covers the US but it doesn't look as though there would be any difficulty extending it to other countries.

And this one, https://planner.myrouteonline.com/route-planner/1752/#, works perfectly in Hilgermissen and has no trouble finding the houses and finding the optimal route.

"Within the Python context, a Python OpenRefine client allows a user to script interactions within a Jupyter notebook against an OpenRefine application instance, essentially as a headless service (although workflows are possible where both notebook-scripted and live interactions take place.

Are there data wrangling workflows that are supported by OpenRefine but not Pandas, Dask, or Vaex?
Thank you for the detailed answer. This is exactly what I was looking.
That demo is awesome! I wonder what real world uses this could be applied to.

By the way, your animated GIF is over 80 MB. You might want to put the video on YouTube or use an animated PNG.

Flyover country is full of Trump voters, has no cultural events (unless you consider tractor pulls to be "cultural"), has locals who are generally very religious, and there's zero public transit there. It doesn't compare in any way to the large metro areas. The weather can be really brutal in the midwest too.
True in the sense that contemporaries reported witnessing such things, but who knows if what they reported was accurate.
I know what this is, and I'm not clicking it.
Have you documented this somewhere online, and do you have pictures? Using an old train car sounds very interesting and unique! I'd enjoy reading more.
I love this idea. I'm sure some people would push back on it but most want people to know whatever they are showing off cost.
In general, look for niches where there are a proportionate (or better) concentration of grey-hairs. Not FAANGs or places like them (duh).

There's a lot to be said for being good at cleaning up messes. Lots of people design crappy systems and write crappy code (and do). Being able to fix stuff like that with minimal downtime is worthwhile, and most youngsters would rather not go there.
It's a misconception that you have to wait with IPv6.

If you're a large organisation you can move to IPv6 "today". What you do is, internally you cease buying IPv4-only gear and using IPv4 addressing etcetera. Everything inside is purely IPv6. A lot of your networking gets simpler when you do this, and debugging is a LOT smoother because there's no more "Huh 10.0.0.1, could be _anything_" everything has globally unique addresses because it's not crammed into this tiny 32-bit space.

At the edge, you have protocol translators to get from IPv6 (which all your internal stuff users) to IPv4 (which some things on the Internet use) but you probably already had a bunch of gear at the edge anyway, to implement corporate policies like "No surfing for porn at work" and "Nobody from outside should be connecting to port 22 on our machines!".

This isn't really practical for "One man and an AWS account" type businesses where your "Internet access" is a Comcast account and an iPhone, but if you're big enough to actually have an IT department, suggest they look into it. It may be cheaper and simpler than they'd realised.
i mostly meant bullets, knives and baseball bats.
Where I live, all too often there just isn't any runway to do this. When you're trying to merge, say, here: https://binged.it/2DTnemt then all you can really do is rip right into traffic and people will just have to make space. It's the worst possible layout for supporting a smooth traffic flow, and it baffles me that they don't lay the extra 200ft of asphalt to improve this, especially in a state that has a DOT that does know how to apply innovative solutions to increase traffic flow like SPUIs and CFIs.

This is kind of neat. Thoughts:

I can only toggle between them in-place after I've made a selection. It would be nice to be able to be able to compare them like this before I choose.

It also wasn't clear to me if by "correct" I was supposed to pick the one that I found most familiar, or the one I thought was better. Then eventually I figured out that this was a game, and there was a predetermined "right" and "wrong" answer for all of these.

What would be really cool is a service where people making a design could upload two possible samples, and you could have 100 users quickly select which one they thought was better. No comments, no analysis, no thinking. Just A or B, two possible views of the same data, and you click which you think is right.

> The big problem is to get the majority of voters on board.

Agreed, but here's one that agrees with you :-)
Are you joking? I'm 35 and regularly date girls (in SoCal) with an age range of 22 through 28 or so. I have an instagram account which I never use and has about 8 photos on it from years ago. No one ever asks me to show my instagram account and I never mention it. I have tons of "dating success."

So your theory of "social proof" through Instagram doesn't seem valid at all for me. Note: I don't have an active FB account either. So basically, I manage to successfully date many 20-something women with basically zero social media.
I like it. Before I didn't even bother playing shows that had a bad static image. I like the quick instant previews because it's inline with my intent: I'm deciding whether or not I want to watch as opposed to the auto-play garbage on the web that's virtually on every news site - I want to read the news articles and not watch and listen to a 30 second blurb where most of the content is an ad that I can't ignore

Tiny houses work if you substitute the lack of space with close access to friends and family. That’s how nomadic people live and it works. But if you live the modern isolated American life, 250 sq ft isn’t going to cut it except for a certain personality type.
You should really educate yourself about what you denigrate before you do it. The culture in "flyover country" is different. It's not non-existent. In fact, in many ways there is far greater diversity throughout the midwest than in your metros -- not everyone votes or thinks the way you want them to think in "flyover country", they tend to be pretty independent.
> Tiny homes usually sell for $40,000 to $90,000 without land, and buyers typically pay cash or finance them with a property loan.

Home Depot sells a 12X18 "shed" with a loft area for $10K. If you're handy, I can image you'd be able to fit this out and make a nice tiny home for much less than $40K.
Many (most?) mac and cheese recipes involve making a mornay sauce, but they rarely call it that. The slightly more informed recipes will actually call it a béchamel sauce and then have you add cheese.

I really hate that when I'm reading a recipe, if it just said "make a mornay sauce with 4 oz cheddar and 4 oz gruyere" you'd cut out 3 steps from the recipe. It's loop unrolling for recipes.
Generated value for whom? The size of amazon? To be put to good use figuring out more ways to eavesdrop information for advertising? They aren't going to pay their workers who piss in bottles any more if they beat earnings, although the shareholders might have some big ticket purchases in mind. It is still money removed from consumers pockets and used to inflate the company, and only very few people in the company benefit from that ballooning.
On some minimum order size, surely. Like I wouldn't expect I could order a handful of 2x4"x20' and have those delivered for free.
The government didn't step in to end slavery because slaves were the "aggrieved class". The government stepped in because northern industrialists want to industrialize the entire nation and expand to the pacific. The southern elites wanted to protect an agrarian slave system. It wealthy elites looking to generate wealth via industrialization and factory farms vs wealthy elites looking to generate wealth via plantations and slaves.

As for your revenge porn example, I agree that it was right for the government to step in. But the government and the elites had nothing to lose by stepping in. It was no skin off their backs. My point is how are we going to get change when it's in the government and the elites interest to stay the course?

People don't generate change. Elites do. It's been that way from the american revolution to the civil war to civil rights.
I assume "100 spies" is the name of the server running all the traffic is funneled through.
My normal kit is the E-M5, 12-40mm f/2.8 lens, and a Peak Design Leash worn cross-body. This takes the weight of my neck a bit. And the lens is fantastic.

Though my favorite walking-around kit is the E-P5 with either the 17mm f/1.8 or 25mm f/1.8 with a wrist strap. Small enough that I don't feel like a total wanna-be-pro carrying it, but still plenty camera for good shots.

A lot of people think that their success was entirely by their own efforts. I'm with you, there was a lot of luck involved.

Things that contributed to my success that I had nothing to do with:

I'm white.
I was born in the US.
I'm male.
I have a reasonably high IQ.
My parents were middle class.
I was raised in a medium sized town on the west coast.
I was interested in computers and an early adopter.
I stumbled into jobs that let me use that interest and make a successful career out of it.

Certainly I made some good decisions along the way, but in different circumstances I could have turned out completely differently.
Well, except it doesn't, because it necessarily either doesn't work or it is centrally controlled.

Putting in another hoop for abusive corporations to jump through does have a function. There would be additional opportunities for whistleblowers to spot it happening, opening up the company to legal and regulatory action. Also, it wouldn't necessarily have to be centrally controlled. 3rd party companies could be hired to do the administration.

What does help is simply encryption and decentralized services, no need for DRM.

DRM could well be implemented as encryption and decentralized services.

From their research paper at https://vuvuzela.io/static/vuvuzela.pdf:

> Vuvuzela can support 1 million users exchanging
text messages (up to 240 bytes each) with an end-to-end latency of 37 seconds, achieving a throughput of 68,000 messages/sec.

Unfortunately, 37 seconds, even for a privacy-aware service, seems too slow to deliver instant messages.
Also the land. The price of the home is often a fairly small part of the price of the property.

That's why you see a lot of these tiny homes built in the parents backyard.
All of the routing services I have tried work perfectly well Hilgermissen.

For instance, https://planner.myrouteonline.com/route-planner/1752/#, works perfectly in Hilgermissen and has no trouble finding the houses and finding the optimal route.

There is in fact not a problem to be solved, except perhaps between the ears of the people managing delivery companies.
Google have no equivalent to ses.
Funny you should mention audio because I enjoy really good audio but on equipment that's often cheaper than run-of-the-mill equipment (and certainly way cheaper than the audiophile hype). Again it comes down to listening and savoring the differences, not the price tag. And a cheap extension cord is more than sufficient when it comes to speaker cables. ;)
This is awesome. Can't wait to share the vision you have here with my team. I worry about it's actual capability to perform (it's a hard problem to solve), but I will certainly try it.
Does humor signal humanity, or does a reference to a popular line from a show famous in nerd culture show lack of creativity?

The tutorial simply says to pick the one that's "more correct". There's nothing that indicates consistency should be valued more highly than ethics -- or any other possible ordering of design priorities.

How A Young Woman Followed Two Hackers' Lies to Her Death
I only know hearsay, but the issue effects those sniffing 2-3+ grams a day, every day for extending periods. The ketamine causes internal scarring of the bladder / urinary tract (not sure which or if either), that scarring stops the organ (maybe wrong word) from expanding and contracting.

So you feel like you need to piss regularly, but only a few drips come out. The damage can get so severe bladder gets removed.

At the lesser end of the damage is agonising stomach cramps, no idea what the cause of this is.

source: spent too long in the uk freeparty rave scene when ketamine was legal and people assumed it was completely safe due to lack of come down. Too many people ended up with severe ketamine addictions and many have to know piss through a bag

Worth mentioning that when I was talking about full-size truck, I was specifically referring to the size of the bed. If it can carry a full sheet of plywood or drywall then you're good. Hell, even a shorter bed (like say 6') might be fine if the tailgate opens up flat and you can secure a load sticking out the back properly.
I wonder what this will mean for Have I Been Pwned. This is essentially the same service, but with the behemoth of google behind it.
I'm not sure there's a reason large parts of it couldn't be hardware accelerated.. for that matter why specific implementations couldn't happen on a network controller for that matter. Sure, initial implementations will be software only, so that it can be implemented on top of the OS, that doesn't negate the opportunity to move pieces down the stack.
That worked for Sears' Craftsman line-up but they wound up selling that business and I dunno how it's worked out for the acquiring company since.
We use both Send Grid and Twilio. Twilio has been outstanding and their API is outstanding. I’m not worried about this merger.
It may be my embedded developer bias but I don't actually consider moving things outside of the kernel to be necessarily a good thing. Standard kernel interfaces are (usually) a guarantee of stability and good isolation, are generally easier to probe using standard tools, easier to accelerate in hardware etc... Not everything should be in the kernel of course, but low level network protocols should be IMO because they're good targets for potential hardware-acceleration (I'm convinced that it would make sense to handle SSL in-kernel for instance, with a userland daemon handling certificate validation, but that's a story for an other day).

I mean, if you can easily update whatever userland library you're using, why can't you upgrade your OS? If the library is easy to upgrade it means that it uses a well defined and backward-compatible interface. What do you get by shifting everything one layer up? In the end it's just software, there's not really any reason why upgrading a kernel driver should be any harder than upgrading a .so/.dll.

So the logic is "kernels are too slow to update and integrate the last new standards, so let's just move everything one step up because browsers auto-update"? Except that there's no technical reason for that, on my Linux box my browser and my kernel are updated at the same time when I run "apt-get upgrade" or "pacman -Syu" or whatever applies. The kernel I'm using at the moment has been built less than a week ago.

So if the problem is that Windows sucks balls and as a result people end up effectively re-creating an operating system on top of it to work around that, then yeah, from a practical standpoint I get it but I'm definitely not "_very_ excited" about it. It's a rather ugly hack.

If in general if the question is "who do you trust more to select and implement new internet standards, kernel developers or web developers?" then I take a side-glance at the few GBs used by my web browser to display a handful of static pages at the moment and I know the answer as far as I'm concerned...

So yeah, it might make sense, but I still think it just goes to show what a shitshow modern software development has become. Instead of fixing things we just add a new layer on top and we rationalize that it's better that way.
