This is what we had in early internet days, directories of links. Early Yahoo was the perfect example of this. You jumped from one site to another, you asked other people, you discovered things by chance. You went straight to a source, instead of reading a post of a summary of a site that after 20 redirections loaded with advertising and tracking gets you to the intended and actually useful destination.

Most web sites then also had a healthy, sometimes surprising link section, that has all but disappeared these days.
Probably investors just not "feeling" like it. Real advancements in tech need years of R&D funding before they can come to fruition; most of the venture capital industry is hell-bent on short term numbers and PowerPoint hockey stick curves and not hard promising science.
i guess if we had a highly regulated and one site for one type of service it would be possible but i would not really want that. you could have a algorithm that would parse your query and send you directly to a site of course it could get it wrong where you may need to refine you query just like now sometimes. of course thats still a search engine but more direct. bookmarks are already a form of web without re-searching.

it sounds like what you really want is a decentralized search engine and anonymous by default as apposed to no search engine.
I’m preparing for what happened to you. Basically:

1. Get your own domain.
2. Get a half decent provider (zoho has a free plan, I use them they see quite good)

Keep a zero inbox by deleting and downloading emails.

If you get locked out again just change your DNS. Just make sure you don’t get locked out of the domain name!

It’s literally a certain portion of boomers and above who are these people’s main constituency. TPUSA et al can try and claim there’s a silent minority of youth for these proto-fascists, stats would disagree though. It’s the boomers mostly, whose elected political representatives have spent their whole lives running down the state, making things easy for themselves, and now they expect to retire and cost a fortune in healthcare and that younger generations are just going to go along with it. And maybe they’re right, life expectancy is helping them to keep winning elections. Not forever though. #NotAllBoomers of course, but they did keep electing the ones who’ve put us in the position we’re in today vis a vis huge upcoming tax liabilities and very low - historically - current levels of tax income.

If you want some interesting reading, google generational eu sentiment in the uk, it’s the boomers who are the most anti. The greatest generation are generally positive, given they actually went through the war.
> pthread cancellation was a terrible idea when it was added, and it's even worse today

> you can implement it yourself via signals

It appears, that you are contradicting yourself. Either it is "bad idea" or it is easy to correctly implement by oneself, not both.

musl has well though-out implementation of pthread cancellation, so it is clearly doable, even if glibc developers have failed at it.
> and can use web developers instead of people who know QT/Java/what have you.

Is that supposed to be an advantage? ;)
> Faking urgency and scarcity

No need to fake it, you can just make it up. “this discount only valid on this special day”

And you make a discount and you take it away after that day. There’s both your urgency and your scarcity. Neither was fake.

It won’t get you new buyers but it’s a great way to nudge people who were thinking of buying anyway over the edge.

Using the Borland C++ IDE in 1991 is way more similar to using Emacs these days, than Visual Studio Code.
Too bad about the trailing commas and semicolons. It would be cleaner if they could be implied and there be punctuation for when a comma or semicolon is not meant.

The commas aren't visually as bad as the semicolons. Would it work to say in an off-side block any non-blank line implicitly ends with semi-colon unless it explicitly ends with comma or colon?

Depends heavily on the jurisdiction. In Germany, there would be two parts to this; Panoramarecht (Right to Panorama) and some general opinions of judges.

Panoramarecht means that the girl can film into a crowd or public space for her own reasons if she wants to. As long as she doesn't put one person in the center of the image or focuses on them in other ways, it's generally permitted.

There is also some more general law handling, if you posed for the picture, judges would generally agree that this constitutes consent to be recorded (a more recent case would the famous Angry German Hat Incident, in which a very angry right-wing man walked up to a camera team to complain about being recorded; the judge ruled that the camera team was justified in recording at first due to Panoramarecht and the man walking up to them, knowing they were recording, rightfully so, constituted consent to be recorded further).

Posing to a camera or walking up to it basically means consent in germany; you noticed the camera and you did take actions that would put you center in the image or make you a focus point.
a New New Internet
How is it "not realistic to work on"?

Tesla has a self-driving functionality in their cars right now on the market, and a quick youtube research will show you that it blows the competition right off, they are better by an order of a magnitude.

Now, it is nowhere near full (level 5 or whatever) self-driving, but noone says that it has to be. The point is that you bring up all other car manufacturers, and they all have obviously inferior products compared to Tesla's (if we are looking at commercially available general personal vechicles). The self-driving as it is right now (even though not level 5) is obviously very useful to many people, it is a good product, the market is right there. And yet these Every Automotive Companies have failed to produce something that Tesla already has on the market. So the problem is not that it is not an "unrealistic dream",(if it exists already), the problem is that other automotive companies are basically behind on this.

My guess is that they are not software companies, they have never had to develop really complicated software, and while having expertise on the mechanical side of things, they are ways behind on the software.
I can't imagine how this is possible. Imagine I have a string of words (a quote from a book or an article, a fragment of an error message, etc), and I want to find the full text where it appears (or pages discussing it). How would you do that without a search engine?
Finding information has never been trivial and until you can read people's minds to see what they really mean when they search for 'cookies' when they really mean "how to clear my internet browsing history for the past hour" it will continue to be non-trivial. The work Google has done in the search space is damn near magical. Your question belittles the literal billions of dollars and millions of man hours that have gone into making the current and previous implementations of Google's search engine almost good enough.

This is not simple, and your Ask HN reeks of ideology and contempt without so much as an inkling of the technical realities that would have to be overcome for such a thing to happen. That goes for both old and new internet.

/rant
This is quite unacceptable on HN.

It looks like you've been using HN primarily for ideological battle for quite a long time. We've asked you repeatedly to stop, but you've repeatedly continued. You've broken the site guidelines in many other ways too. All of this would justify banning you, but I don't think you're doing it on purpose, so I'm not going to ban you right now. Would you please take the spirit of this site more to heart, though, and stop doing these things? Because we'll have no choice but to ban you unless you do.

I think people should use all of them. Some problems are much better expressed with logic programming, others with inheritance, others with polymorphic functions.

There is one school which says people ought to be giving a powerful programming language to better write powerful programs in the best way. The idea is to amplify what a single programmer can produce.

Another school says you should give programmers a non-powerful language because they aren’t to be trusted. The goal is to make changing enormous codebases easy (or maybe to maximise lines of code).

Perl fits into the first category and java is representative of the second. So I think this argument isn’t so much about Perl as it is a complaint about its philosophy. It could equally go on an article about the next c++ feature.
You appear to be spreading false rumors about them issuing warnings even though they don’t have to. When I organized the data on this site by fine amount, not a single case on the front page said anything about any of the companies fined having received a single warning.

So, by comparing this to legal situations where “it never happens” you are purposely misrepresenting the risk of receiving a fine under GDPR without any type of warning. While having an eighth of weed rarely if ever results in a 5 year sentence in the U.K., clearly not receiving a warning before being fined occurs quite frequently. You have made a false equivalence between these two things.
I download pretty much anything I fear is controversial and at risk of being censored by the host, removed by the creator, or edited at a future date. I dedicate a few dozen terabytes of storage to store these things. I have several YT channels with >300 videos archived and routinely keep them up-to-date with new uploads. All because a funny video one time was deleted after the creator received a copyright strike for approx. 3 seconds of audio on the video.

The average person isn't going to know how to use a command line program to download a Youtube video. The average person also doesn't have enough space to maintain large and old archives. The average person wouldn't care to maintain and prune an archive for relevance every now and then. And even if you manage to get the average person to care about all of this - you still face the hurdle of there not being any "official" hash to compare to.
He has worked for Google and Facebook, the big company argument is not very relevant, IMO.
It makes sense that it would be hard to get reliable data on this: Paternity testing labs would be biased towards people who were suspicious; studies requiring informed consent would be biased against people with something to hide; and any study at a hospital or suchlike would be biased by patient demographics.
The deeper problem is advertising. It is sort of a prisoner's dilemma: all commercial entities have a shouting contest to attract customer attention. It's expensive for everybody.

If we could kill advertisement permanently, we can have an internet as described in the question. This will almost be like an emergent feature of the internet.
This is what finally killed it for me and Python. I'm inclined to functional programming and writing SQL instead of using an ORM. This was easily possible in Python, but my coworkers would often refer to it as "hacky" even though my tests would show it was more performant than marshaling objects to do a simple transform. My direct lead would often only write imperative code, and one off scripts with very little reuse possible (let alone tools that could be handed off to other team members). Very frustrating.

I find more opinionated languages like Clojure help. On that note, is the title a riff on "Simple Made Easy"?
There aren’t that many powerful navies these days. It’s not like the age of dreadnoughts when countries like Japan and Argentina were getting into naval arms races.
We would still need search engines, but we could change the business model. For example we could make a protocol to associate URL with content and search keywords.

Personally, I'm happy to see multiple strong techcos getting involved in autonomous driving. Apple especially, considering their non-standard MO.

Uber & Tesla are showing us that just because a company is culturally SV/startup, it doesn't necessarily mean that their business becomes a (taking Thiel's definition) monopoly in the Google/FB sense.

If/when autonomous driving starts living up to predictions, it will be a massive crucial industry. Hopefully every part of it will be a competitive market. An Airbnb of autonomous trucking or a Microsoft of autonomous taxis would be disturbing.

AOL [1] among others in the early days did exactly that. Without using a search engine, you could access whatever type of content you wanted. Similar to a communism vs capitalism argument, you don't quite the same amount of variety but you trade that for instant access to what you need.

Most of the search engines now days have the advantage of being closed source (you don't know how their algorithm actually work). This makes the fight against unethical SEO practices easier.

With a distributed open search alternative the algorithm is more susceptible to exploits by malicious actors.

Having it manually curated is too much of a task for any organization. If you let user vote on the results... well, that can be exploited as well.

The information available on the internet is to big to make directories effective (like it was 20 years ago).

I still have hope this will get solved one day, but directories and open source distributed search engines are not the solution in my opinion unless there is a way to make them resistant to exploitation.

An instant REPL for any command
I know it seems that way; it's a common perception, which is why these posts are so common. But we've learned from long experience that in nearly all cases, it's an optical illusion coming from a cognitive bias, which we almost certainly all share (https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...). The trouble is that the resulting accusations poison the community in their own right.

If you read back through some of the posts I linked to you'll see tons of commentary about that.
I think this point of view is arguable.

First, politicians may be considered as representative of either _only the people who voted for them_, or as _representative of everyone_.

Secondly, many politicians do not really change their point of view, the change in people's opinion is expressed by voting different people.
I am not sure about Boris, but I am 100% certain that the narrative about Trump playing 4D chess is bullshit.

I believe that George Bush may have had a persona to some degree (https://keithhennessey.com/2013/04/24/smarter/) because it pays off to speak like a man of the people. But everyone who's worked with Donald Trump and spoken out afterwards tell the same story about how utterly stupid he is.

In Denmark, we once elected a comedian into parliament. He won on promises like "more sunshine" and "bigger christmas presents". People loved it because it was fun and a bit of a finger to the boring, smooth politicians that they usually saw. I guess you could argue that he is smart in that he was able to win the crowd, but what I take away from that is more that the crowd is fickle and will go with (and push) a trend or a fad if it looks fun or supports their anger.
Possibly, but given that the comment was a reply to a person using a personal name, I think the default is to interpret "you" personally. So the onus is on the replier to make the distinction if they don't mean it that way.
I turn to search engines mostly when entering a new knowledge domain! E.g. learn about a specific product. Sometimes when im just lazy.

For routine stuff i tend to have established resource starting points, like documentation, official/community sites, blogs/news feeds, and yes: link directories (like awesome lists).

I’m going to leave the rifle stuff alone because you seem to have very little in the way of actual knowledge vs myth and misunderstanding. The very minimum you could do would be to learn about destabilization and over penetration of ball 9mm compared to 556.

I’ll ask simply, again, why would you ever assume it stops at things you personally don't like?

You’d have to be very naïve to think that.
I assume, that Google's answer would sound like this:

"We are not starting with musl, because we want to own all our software the same way people own hamsters or dogs: care for them, feed them, train them, single handedly decide whether to castrate or kill them. We don't need the risk of owning something we don't fully control."

As far, as I am aware, musl isn't owned by public company or foundation. Google can't exert desirable degree of control over musl project, because there is no board of directors to buy their way into, — it is all maintained by one guy (and chattel slavery is outlawed in US...)
I've never read a code base where I thought the type system was doing a good job of being a DSL for describing business requirements

Types are great imo for checking against primitives because the semantics of int string array etc are strong but most languages are encouraging wrapping up primitives in some user defined wrapper then the semantics of the wrapper are implicit, brittle and known only to the author

The semantics of your Bob class is more likely to change as it's used over many different contexts than the int type is, if the int type is being swapped out it's usually because the wrong data is being used, which is what we are using types to protect against, it's not usually because there's a problem with what int is
