I'm speculating here, but I think this isn't about challenging the monetary oligopoly as much as it is about Amazon.

FB isn't funding this project because it's a libertarian thought experiment. FB is funding it because it makes business sense.

FB's business model is using data to sell ads. Amazon.com's dominance in ecommerce- and it's entry into the ad market - puts pressure on FB's business if advertisers move their buys to Amazon.com. But I imagine if FB is able to directy connect social interactions to purchasing decisions, that's something that retailers that compete with Amazon are going to be interested in.

My daughter refuses to use the big, tank less toilets that you find in public restrooms because she's scared of them. Never thought the noise level could be an issue in the origin of her fear but these things are loud when they go off and most are now motion activated so they trigger as soon as you get up.

This all makes more sense now, thanks to this kid for this, I've never realized how noise was different for kids.

I recommend everyone that writes HTML to check out Pug (formerly Jade). It makes writing HTML so much easier when it comes to handling classes, attributes, nesting, readability ... well, basically anything. It transpiles to HTML and when using the pretty flag (-P) you can ditch pug anytime if you don't like it and work on the HTML output again. And please tell if you do the latter (and why). I still wait for the person that I recommended Pug to and preferred to keep writing vanilla HTML afterwards.

JS didn't suplanted it from day to night. It was Steve Jobs who killed Flash, not letting Adobe from conquer their new iOS platform. They tried it so hard, even on Android back then, but they failed to deliver something solid. Eventually, both Google and Apple released their SDKs to develop apps, way more solid and faster than running a Adobe Flash player layer on top of the OS.

IMHO the word "installed app" shouldn't even exist. What's the use of "installing" an application these days?

Of course this goes hand in hand with an instant start (no dreaded splash screens please), and not having to download gigabytes upon gigabytes of data upfront.

Modern web apps might be bad at this, and browser engines might be bloated, but native apps aren't any better (even heavy web pages still load many times faster than - for instance - starting Visual Studio or Photoshop).

Cool project!

The parts I don't like:

+ Static linking

+ No extension (shared library) support

+ The module importers look over-engineered / too complicated

+ Custom Python distributions

+ Not sure what Rust gets you here, besides additional complexity

+ No support for Python 2.7 (Python 3 drops support for Windows XP which is still a legit platform for many scenarios)

Many years ago, I solved similar problems (Windows-only at the time) with an approach that:

+ Requires no static linking, absolutely no compilation of Python

+ Supports packaging any pre-installed stock Python 2
distribution, no modifications except to fix bugs in the standard library

+ Uses in-memory loading for _everything_ including Python extensions (shared libraries)

+ Is based on top of a minimal C-bootstrapping layer that can be compiled once and reused

+ Includes a better loader than the one in py2exe :-]

+ Delivers an injectable DLL or executable with absolutely no dependencies except OS built-ins

+ Works on every version of Windows from XP SP0 and beyond

The product is commercial (platform for modelling APT attacks and performing automated exfiltration pentests) but I did a presentation [1] which lays out the entire loader and the benefits of my approach in a way that is easy to independently re-engineer.
I can see some benefits of static linking on Unix (even though I'd still avoid it there), but I'm convinced that it's absolutely the wrong thing to do for Windows.

Misread it as "hair dryer" at first, but the principle is similar...

Fans are loud, especially small powerful ones. There's plenty of other comments here complaining about the Dysons, and I agree; and I also much prefer the older ones (with a heater), which seem to have a far slower fan and a deeper note. That said, I find towels/paper most effective for drying.

But if insisting on air drying, perhaps a design with the blower elsewhere (maybe centralised, like a vacuum --- another fanned device that's also very loud), a local heater, and slower air flow would be more ideal.

I think this wouldn't have caused nearly as much commotion as it does now, if the original post explained the technical reasons for starting a new libc. What problems do existing implementations have? How could a new libc address these issues?

Instead, this has an air of (regardless whether this is true): we are going to write a new libc for completely opaque company-driven reasons, and either you accept it or you we will make it happen anyway.

One of the problems with a military-focused command economy like the Soviet Union's was that consumer goods were in short supply and often not that high quality even when available. But consumer goods are needed to keep people happy. How to get them? The USSR's ruble was worthless on the world market -- only by exchanging goods could they get them.
I've seen ethnic groups and seniors mitigate this by turning malls into their communal places. Malls with lots of natural sunlight coming in, lots of seating inside and outside of the food court and have a "loop" structure that mimic an indoor track seem to do well to attract this.

Maybe we should be looking at the existing “cow paths” and figuring out how to make them more welcoming to the idea of being a shared communal space during the winter.

>GDPR is a minor update of DPA

It is not a minor update[1]. The Information Commissioner's Office is extremely aware and vexed, given the current state of affairs, that Data Protection Act 2018, needs to be aligned as closely to the GDPR to allow for information to flow freely after Brexit (Article 45)[2][3].

Furthermore, ICO has not been the epitome of a regulatory body enforcing the law to it's fullest extent, for which it has had the remit for ─ by stopping business' doing a runner or imposing maximum fines, neither has it had a good record on collecting the fines issued. Although, it has made a meal of some of the high profile rain-making cases which have already been in the public eye. It is ironic that there are no real details forthcoming from ICO and one has to resort to FoI requests to get any information on it's previous escapades under DPA 98![4]

What's the issue? There's two that are unavoidable.

The maximum speed of moving data from one physical place to another, moving data from the hard drive to the motherboard and the ram to the cpu/cache is faster than from the internet to a computer. To he speed of light is still noticably slow when you're making round trips to get data.

The other issue is configuration, even if automated, software needs to make decisions about how to deal with different hardware and system differences. This takes time to bootstrap after initial load increase time to usuability or it can be done on the fly slowing down the interactions.
Which is exactly what I wrote if you read the complete message.

Nice overview! One thing I think you should add, which I find immensely useful is the reordering of arrays using indexing.

Take for example:

In [2]: numpy.array([1, 2, 3])[[0, 2, 1]]
Out[2]: array([1, 3, 2])

You index using a list and it gives you a view of the array with the new order (the underlying array is not changed and there is no copy being done).
Then it won't be open source any more.

I'm routinely seeing postings for "Senior XYZ developer" and generally list "you must have at least 3 years of XYZ". I don't recall it being quite this bad 20 years ago, but... the market was different. There's a few "stricter" posts that I see that will list 5 or 7 or minimum 10 years of XYZ, but the most I see (when time experience is listed) is 'minimum 3'.

Outside of something like nodejs, I'm not even sure 3 years will get you through the experience of a version upgrade with some tech stacks, let alone "senior" qualifications. But it will all come down to how you define "senior".

Ask HN: How to find an IT temp job abroad?
I was wondering if there are any websites, forums, job boards etc. for IT or software engineering job roles that explicitly hire for a limited timeframe like 3/6/9/12 months (freelancer or "temp. permanent") and explicitly hire international, with english as project language (Think USA, Canada, Australia but open to all other Countries).

Background: I've been a freelance software engineer for 5 years in Germany and Switzerland, hopping between companies every 3-12 months. Most of the time I was on-site, living in hotels, short-term rentals etc. and returning back home every or every other weekend. Remote jobs, at least in Germany, are very scarce or pay a lot less in contrast to on-site. I really liked to discover the Cities and the surrounding areas in my spare time past working hours, and I wonder if there is a way to do this in an international context.

Now, I found some websites like jobbatical.com which seem to promote these kind of job adverts, but in detail it is just regular job adverts of companies looking for permanent placements. I'm rather looking for a mutual agreement where both sides - employer and employee - agree beforehand on the temporary nature of the arrangement. Given a certain seniority/expert level, I am pretty convinced these kinds of short term employments are benefical to the hiring company (thats also why at least in Germany we have a very vivid freelancer on-site market).

TLDR: Do you know any jobboards, websites, forums where companies explicitly look for (senior) level IT experts (software engineering etc.) and are open to temporary employment, or do you have any suggestion of how to look for these kind of jobs?

China is still a bit of a bet. Is anyone sure their growth will be built on solid foundations ? If so then yeah, they'll probably be the next pole.

> What's the use of "installing" an application these days?

Once I "install" an application, for example libreoffice:

- It works even if I do not have a working Internet connection (or back in the day, even if I had removed the original media from the drive);

- It works even if the original is gone.

That is, by "installing" an application, I gain a permanent, offline, working copy of it.

Indeed, a browser should be just a sandbox, nothing more.

All the HTML+CSS+JS stuff only makes browsers difficult to secure, and also causes bloat and performance issues when they are not needed.

Furthermore, all these hairy web specifications cause compatibility issues, and are a barrier to entry for new browser makers.

If people want HTML or CSS or JS, then they should implement these inside the sandbox. In practice, this would mean that developers would simply include one of the standard libs for rendering HTML, etc., and these standard libraries can be cached by the browser, so their use does not cause performance/bandwidth penalties.

As someone who already tried it, I'd call it more of a Medium alternative. Or, at least, what Medium should have been.

Zero pop-ups, actually clutter-free reading experience, and an opportunity to not just host individual blogs (although that is certainly a feasible use case), but to also bring a community together, run a publication, and give the readers the freedom to consume the content in which ever way they'd like (website, decentralized social networks like Mastodon, RSS reader etc).

> My big concern is at the bottom of that technology pyramid. The lowest common denominator of the Web. The foundation. The rhythm section. The ladyfingers in the Web trifle. It’s the HTML.

This is perhaps an annoying pedantic answer, but I feel like this discounts what HTML actually represents, and what the Javascript libraries operate on, which is the DOM, bypassing HTML syntax often completely. The HTML, fundamentally is a representation of this Document Object Model, and if we're to be essentialist, HTML's success relies on good fundamental ideas of what kind of document it generates.

I do, however absolutely agree that the semantic representation of a document is important, and HTML's ideas of what a good representation of a document looks like really do shape the success of the web. This is why in very successful frameworks like React for example go so far as to implement their own pseudo-HTML transpiler that turns HTML-like representations of DOM nodes into DOM construction calls.

That said, I think there is a certain kind of essentiallism echoed in this post that goes along the lines of 'everything can't just be <div>s with classes' and I agree with that, but I don't think it has to do with writing more HTML-like DOM trees as much as augmenting the DOM to integrate more modern representations of DOM operation. I hope that in the future, systems like React leverage something similar to Custom Elements to truly represent their functionality in the DOM tree, as God intended ;)
