Show HN: Boneless (Display up to 4 websites, in a minimalist way)
I was playing with multiple desktops on my new OS, there was a specific monitor in my first desktop that I wanted to just display a couple of websites, since there was nothing else going on in there. As I don't have a tiling wm I just tiled 2 full Chrome instances top and bottom. I wasn't satisfied with how it looked, because it still had all the top controls and borders. After evaluating some options I just decided to make my own solution based on Electron. Basically I made a very minimalist setup with <webview> tags that displays up to 4 different websites at once. There are 16 different layouts to choose from plus a bunch of other options like presets and theme.

Certainly very limited as a browser but it works for that niche purpose.

My issue with this article is the narrative: That the truncation technique is applied for the benefit of memory management on the device. What about network throughput? Many of us have the privilege of blazing fast connections, both wired & wireless, but the same cannot be said for other locales.
In "virus of the mind" one of Dawkins' students argues religion is more like a symbiote with both benefits and burdens on the host. His arguments seemed reasonable when I read it but I have forgotten them.
No, but they are relevant to the question of how to improve your society. Accepting problems as a normal state of affairs is not going to fix them.
> I'm just going by what Americans themselves are telling me about their country

Ah, this makes sense then :)

Definitely visit the US...I can tell you that the Americans who travel tend to lean heavily "liberal" in their politics (in other words, anti-police), which would explain that your perception of American life is definitely skewed in favor of this view.

Note that yes, of course, we do have major problems with our police, especially with regard to militarization of the police and abuse of power, especially in poor communities. But the actual reality of the relationship between Americans and the police is nuanced and complicated, not as obvious as your well-traveled American friends would have you believe :)

Blog post complaining about news sites using clickbait headlines uses clickbait headline to attract views.

Proceeds with a random list of complaints you could apply to most sites in general.

> using archaic ads

I don't know about you, but archaic ads didn't track me, use up many resources, and were just fine.

> Partner with brands to create sponsored articles (without ruining the user experience of course)

Article writer then offers a suggestion that has been tried in the past, and something people frequently complain about news companies doing.

> Place a larger emphasis on user donations or promotions

Promotions? What are "promotions?" Promoting a product? You want news agencies to place a larger emphasis on advertising?

And all three suggestions literally fly in the face of:

> Disabling the user from reading if ad-block is present

All these things are "advertising" so the user would be blocked from reading.

> News outlets should not be spamming their main revenue supply (the users) or misleading people with false information.

Like you did? Your headline is as much a lie as many of the headlines you seem to hate on news sites.

Apart from being verbose, why is that a bad thing? Spring is used to successfully build massive applications. You can meme about Spring's AbstractFactoryBeans all day, but in the end it does what it's supposed to do.

Python 2 is mature and stable, but not obsolete. It does still receive bugfixes as needed; the latest was version 2.7.16, released 2019-03-04. Maintenance will continue until 2020-01-01.
I think the author is limiting his perspective to that of a software engineer.

No web developer is charmed by the limited capabilities of Wix, but it's good enough for the static website many (if not most) businesses are looking for. A CRUD app made by a low-code platform may be limited in its functionality, but it's often good enough for a typical business need. To say it's doomed to fail is an overstatement.

These stories are hard to process because there appears to be such blatant abuse, exploitation, and stupidity.

> A couple of years later, the Federal Communications Commission reportedly came close to introducing a "truth-in-advertising" clause for religious solicitations. This would have meant that any claims of boosting finances or curing disease would have to be verifiable, and Ole took various trips to Washington to lobby for it.

The thing that's easily forgotten is that any sufficiently-advanced con is indistinguishable from religion.
It is a show about what happens when the state officials and secret state organizations have all the power to keep that power. It corrupts the people, because there is not much left to keep them honest.
When I was a wee boy here in Scotland our primary school teacher for our class of 12 was an ex WW2 Spitfire pilot - we read the bible every day. For some odd reason we only ever read the old testament and generally the bits where people are being rather beastly to one another.

I do believe that dear old Mr C might have been trying to teach us a lesson about the reality of religious beliefs.

[NB I grew up in a small quite religious community where things like cycling, playing football, hanging out clothes to dry (and probably humour) were effectively banned on Sundays].
Safari too.

"Modern browsers". A pejorative term.
Well you can think about it as a simple market. There is a demand for salvation and there is a supply provided by the con artists. The price is set based on market dynamics. This is why a particular religion hates psychologists, they do not like competition.
Religious people are happier than non-religious people.

Interestingly, when we start talking about countries, not individual people, the trend reverses: atheistic countries are the happiest.

Perhaps what I am trying to say is

One-off one liners dashed off without syntax errors speaks of long and deep usage of a command line tool. That's cool. But continuing to use those one liners worries me for reasons not to do with skill

I would worry about the manual versus automation being used here. I can think of many cases where a sed/awk solution will work really well - but they almost always will be part of a larger developed and supported pipeline.

But if you using the one liner for anything not trivial you are still doing too much manual work

trying to be even shorter - if awk is your tool great! But ... at some point (and that point is much closer today than previously) anything we do needs a suite of tools we have hacked together and rewritten and passed around - from log file analysis to whatever.

And while awk can absolutely play a role in those tools, I doubt very much that anyone is good enough to make the one liners on the fly.

An quick example might be "show me all the logs for the request sent by user X in the last five minutes off the front web servers but ignore the heartbeat from that app marketing put out and ..."

I want that in my path, alongside everything else I and others working on the systems think useful.

Yes hack together your tools with any language you like. Put them in a seperate repo with all the linting turned off

But don't try and one liner them from scratch.
> I don't think there is a hard limit on number of people.

Humans through our metabolic process generate waste heat and Earth can only radiate so much so that does put a hard cap, albeit one much higher than people generally image, but a cap nonetheless. If we assume only the heat generated by our metabolic process that puts the limit over 250 trillion[0] but if we account for energy for food and industrial purposes that puts the limit closer to 10 trillion[1].

100 Percent Renewable Pledges Do Not Equal Carbon-Free Power
I disagree - especially since optimizing for anything blindly/without constraints can lead to horrific outcomes.

Optimizing for happiness would logically call for denying unpleasant truths because pointing them out would make people unhappy and downright inhumanities - if the depressed commit suicide it would drive up the average happiness. Even if given tighter constraints it would still have disturbing ignorance is bliss promotion.
I won't look at any page that has autoplaying (even silent) video. It's too distracting and it's not worth the effort to click the close button.
Those affect Intel much, much more than AMD and once you include the fixes it always get better for AMD than without because, oversimplifying a lot, when doing branch speculation "Is it branch A or B ? I will guess A and pre compute that" Intel didn't bother with any access check during the prediction and only ran them after once confirmed it was indeed A (so it already had the result and merely did the ACL check), whereas AMD was already doing all the checks even during predition.

That's why there is an entire range of such weakness that doesn't affect AMD while it hurts Intel very strongly.

Is Nuclear Power Globally Scalable?
It feels familiar to Java developers, due to Typescript which is also statically typed (but much better IMHO) and due to the use of decorators and classes, which are an awesome way to describe a component.

Being familiar to a large base of existing developers is a huge feature.
Non-privileged containers running as root are a definite security risk.

Real world example: CVE from February 2019 which allowed escalation to root on host. It's preventable by (among other things) "a low privileged user inside the container".

Tragedy of the Commons here means that a minority of highly motivated players (in this case the tax preparation companies like Intuit) work much harder to implement a policy that is only mildly annoying for the vast majority of people.

In this case millions of people have to spend between $0 - ~$200 a year so that a few hundred/thousand people can make boatloads of cash to file taxes.
It kind of makes sense, in that it’s possible to use data on what radios you can see (particularly WiFi SSIDs) to work out a user’s location. Still causes no end of hassle from customers complaining about you requesting location permissions to connect to a WiFi device though.
IKEA to revamp app as store strategy shifts
I don't think they refuse features because of design aesthetics. Go has many warts already anyway.¹

The design goal for Go seems to be to make a language where there is only one way to express a given algorithm.

They are trying to create a language where it is impossible to be clever.

This is not bad thing in itself, except when it starts to remove features that allow you to write clearer code.

For example I have a Java application that connects to a database. I _like_ that I can just let the transaction die for any uncaught exception that bubbles up from the DB layer.

I like that better than the idea of having to 'handle' a thousand possible errors from down there that I don't even understand. In some cases exceptions make for clearer code.

And don't even get me started about the lack of generics. That is a glaring omission that shows lack of understanding of the human factor in language design.

That they didn't anticipate this obvious feature makes me question the purity of the aesthetics.

This is all fine, and they are of course free to leave out whatever features they want: this is what makes it Google's language, after all.

I was also hesitating over that line. Maybe it's implied that computers enter new business areas all the time, which certainly is true. I have been in the game long enough to notice the same patterns of explosive growth and associated API chaos etc etc. Nowadays you can do everything in Node.Js for instance, but first you had to "reimplement all things!" except in many cases they didn't know (or care) they were reimplementing.

I usually snark on Node.js but not really in this case, I understand well when the platform imposes a moat and it's easier to just re-do than integrate. Ain't nobody got time for that... it's still something of a tragedy but it's not something we have an easy fix for.

And the list goes on and on. There are many ongoing efforts to combat this kind of false teaching.

Jesus' own teaching and that of his first followers were quite clear on the point that greed is sinful and dangerous, and that love and generosity to the needy, not wealth and success, should characterize Christians.

[Luk 12:15, 33-34 ESV] 15 And he said to them, "Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." ... 33 Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

[1Ti 6:9-10 ESV] But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

[Eph 4:28 ESV] 28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.

[Phl 2:3-4 ESV] 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

[Jas 1:27 ESV] 27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

[1Jo 3:16-18 ESV] 16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

Prosperity teaching sells a parody of Christianity. It preys on those whose faith and knowledge of scripture is too shallow to tell the difference.
Part of the difficulty here is that the function newspapers are intended to serve isn't to generate profits, nor even to be cost-effective.

Newspapers are meant to be a source of accurate, current information on topics that are relevant to the continued health and progress of society.

This costs a lot of time and money. The government can't fund newspapers without the perception of state bias. Where should the resources necessary to achieve the above goal come from?
I think these were probably water balloons. The idea is that all of those straws are connected to a single garden hose fill adaptor, so the whole bunch of balloons can be filled at once. (example: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33011481532.html)

I abhor the single-use plastic, but at the same time water balloons are just fun in the summer. If paintballs can be made biodegradable (they're gelatin), maybe there's hope for water balloons, too.

GPU HW dude, here: I’m not sure of AVX-512’s current fma16 story, but it’s predecessor (LRBni) was terrifyingly good at fma32–much better than contemporary GPUs. The problem with those parts is total power displacement (TDP). The market is really geared to mobile; so, so that became less of an issue. INTC-for-Graphics is hampered by the lack of deep, dedicated latency hiding fixed-function HW. Otherwise, INTC is probably a strict win over any discrete GPU.

The chicken truck tax is pretty easy to avoid, you just need to bolt a few final parts onto the vehicle in America and call it final assembly.

This is why the Subaru Brat, a light truck by all definitions, came with some very dangerous plastic seats in the back, to dodge the chicken tax. The expectation was that the user would remove them themselves to dodge the 25% tariff.
At first, I read it quickly as "NEW websites are dumpster fires." Which is also sometimes true. For lack of a better term. I hate the "tablet catered" website look on a desktop. A lot of the news sites look this way too. I'm not really sure how else to describe it.
I wasn't disagreeing with the point that not everyone who commits suicide is mentally ill. I was disagreeing with your point that all sufferers of mental illness are in a state of psychosis.

I also disagree with how you're interchanging "history of mental ill health" with "mental illness" because it's not always something one is born with.

Lastly I don't think those twitter links are the best examples of your point because they are ostensibly saying "It's not a forgone conclusion; more research is needed." Which I absolutely do agree with.

However, to get back to point, I do agree that not everyone who has suicidal thoughts, or who is suicidal, is mentally ill. I was being rather terse in my earlier post and in doing so had obviously mislead. So apologies for that.

Yes, I'd like to know where you are getting that the actual rates are increasing. My wife and I (parent's of a daughter with autism) laugh how every year they claim the numbers increase - 1/100, then 1/50, etc. These are numbers marketed by Autism Speaks and other organizations to make autism appear more wide spread and increase their funding. This does nothing but hurt people with more severe autism. Widening the net so wide so that any social difficulties is considered autism just reduces the availability of services for children with "real" autism. Autism is a spectrum, with people who are completely non-verbal constantly stemming to people with Asperger's Syndrome who excel but have some social difficulties. They really should be distinguished.
