Ah, I didn't know that. Well both HN and Github are US sites, not UK, so the title is accurate in this context.
Yeah I get that, but rather than Google opening it up for open registration and having the usual domain land grab, they could have created domains for each action and allow service providers to register intents in their services for each action. It's going to make discovery of actions much harder if there are different actions for different providers. It will also mean the usefulness of the pattern will be limited based on the services I choose to use.

In your example - if I prefer Domino's to Pizza Hut, what do I go to? I need to go to pizza.new to discover that it's linked to Pizza Hut and then try to figure out what Domino's action might be. In the end I'll just end up going to the main site instead. I think the value of this concept is completely nullified by binding the actions/domains to specific providers.

> This incident is a perfect example showing why embracing China and hoping they would be more open to modern values like freedom of speech, democracy, etc., is a total illusion.

It doesn't really. The current issue count is 1354. Since many people seem to be adding multiple issues and some of them are in support of the author, that means maybe a few hundred Notepad++ users were riled up enough to comment. That's unlikely to be a significant chunk of the whole userbase in China. That most messages protesting the naming of the release are in Chinese only tells you that most people supporting the Chinese government are Chinese, not that most Chinese support the government.

This should be higher. Capital expense is where these companies make their money. There is great incentive to modernize their infrastructure and make it more reliable.

On the other hand, operational expenses are frowned upon because that effects the rate payer bill, which the rate payer advocate tends to lean on. Do the math.
Does anyone have any plans/thoughts/visions for how we should deal with SRV-records in our standard libraries in different languages?

Requesting a DNS-server for a SRV-record gives you a prioritised list of IPs and ports, and it is up to the implementor to pick the right one.

As it works currently you would have to do a lookup, pick a endpoint, and then feed it into your HTTP library or TCP library.

This is fine in code that you control, but there are so many libraries out there that expects a hostname or an IP-address with a port number, and in a highly containerised world endpoints are more short lived than ever, so we need retry mechanics as well: Try the next server:port pair in the prioritized list.

The moment we added JSON schema (not to mention JSON transforms) and started to create a JSON version of XPath, we started down the same path that hurt XML.

Exactly right. I got a Harbor Freight generator, installed a natural gas carburetor and plumbed in a quick release valve on our outside natural gas line. It will run the whole house, including the gas furnace and water heater. I love the idea of battery backup for our solar panels, but it's super expensive, and the payoff is so distant the NPV approaches zero.

Yeah the cities thing was what I was thinking about mostly - in the countryside home ownership is higher as prices are less, less apartments and there are less big property owners.

Theres also the question of what it means to own ones house. A lot of people have a mortgage for their house, but the relationship between this and benefitting from the value appreciating is different for different people.
staging interacts with other commands as well. You can stage a bunch of stuff then revert or stash the rest, you can stash everything in the staging area, you can diff only stuff in the staging area and so on.

It basically acts as a clipboard. Possibly hg interactive commits work in the same way, but then I do not know how that would be different from a staging area.

First off, thanks for the comprehensive articles. You did a much better job than most of the digital nomad pieces I've read.

Also thanks for the cautions on taxes, and advice to get professional advice. Americans especially can get surprised when they find out the IRS follows them everywhere.

But I do have to question the 4.1 million American DNs, and the 16 million aspiring American DNs. Those numbers don't come close to matching my own experience as a digital nomad, or itinerant freelancer as I call myself.

The numbers for US digital nomads don’t make sense. Either the definition includes so many people as to make the term meaningless, or the survey methodology has severe flaws.

4.1 million digital nomads from the USA. Consider that the entire US military, all branches, including reserves, comprises just over 2 million Americans. Most Americans know someone in the active military or reserves, but few Americans even know what “digital nomad” means. Do you think the 4.1 million number seems credible? That would mean about 5% of all Americans who traveled in 2018, or 10% of non-business travelers, call themselves digital nomads. If you look at the nature and duration of American travel (a week or two in Europe, or a spring break trip to Mexico) it doesn’t add up that a huge percentage of those travelers qualify as digital nomads.

The US State Dept. estimates that 9 million Americans live abroad, not including military posted overseas. The vast majority of those are retirees, followed by employees in overseas offices. Do they count as digital nomads? If grandma and grandpa retire to Ecuador, post photos to Instagram, and make a few dollars from a rental house back in the US, does that make them digital nomads? What about a 20-year-old taking a gap year frugally doling out savings from a summer job in Chiang Mai while trying to write a game for the app store. Digital nomad?

I have traveled and lived abroad for almost ten years, working as a freelancer, staying in many countries. I rarely meet digital nomads even though I sometimes stay in cities (Chiang Mai, Ubud, Ho Chi Minh City, Amsterdam, Prague, Austin) supposedly teeming with them. I don’t meet many of them in co-working places or coffee shops either. And I’m not a shy introvert — I go out of my way to meet other travelers, and go out of my way to talk to other Americans when I hear them speak. Anecdotally they make up a tiny percentage of travelers I meet, far outnumbered by regular tourists. 4.1 million American nomads, and presumably an even larger number of digital nomads from other countries, should have more of a visible presence. I know more German, Russian, Finnish, even Estonian digital nomads than I know Americans doing it.

I don’t mean to gatekeep, but the 4.1 million number just seem ridiculously high.

Apple haven’t been working on iOS longer than Linux has been around. It’s true that iOS is based on macOS which is based on NEXT (of various capitalisations), FreeBSD and a few other platforms. But Apples direct involvement starts at macOS and there’s very little FreeBSD/NEXT/etc in iOS compared to original code. Likewise you could argue that “Linux” predates Linux if you include the GNU user land and start tracing things backwards that way (I’m assuming “Linux” in the context of this discussion is GNU/Linux because it wouldn’t be fair to compare a kernel to a full desktop or mobile OS).

Ultimately I don’t think either arguments are particularly useful as all they demonstrate is that good technology is an evolutionary process of stands on the shoulders of other pieces of good technology.

I'm visiting a smallish town in the UK and working remote from here. It's perfect. I can get a 50% paycut and still be able to live a happy life here. I see lots of companies starting to accept remote and my company strongly supports it as well. I don't usually like working from home/remote but I'm thoroughly enjoying these past weeks.

I support building up (with ample green space) to bring down the cost. But that doesn't have to be the only solution. The attitude that everyone has to work from an office every day of every week is ridiculous to me. A week or two per quarter of travel and then a strong culture around remote work will distribute the prosperity as well. The future economy is knowledge based and we better prepare for it.
I too lost my Google Adsense account exactly when I had reached the minimum quantitiy to be able to get a paycheck, they banned me and kept my 100 €, which took me months of doing SEO, writting content, and much more.

So true. Blackberry is another example of doing it wrong. I was at presentations of there's when the iPhone was coming out and the CEO was still talking about battery life in pagers. They couldn't see apps taking hold and actually actively blocked it.

If I start a subreddit, I become a moderator. Reddit didn’t ask me to start the sub so I’m not sure it would be the same thing. Unless they are actively recruiting mods for larger subreddits, perhaps.
Some might call me an introvert, but I never feel lonely. I make a point of talking to at least one stranger every day. I force myself if I have to. It may just be a casual "Where are you from?" at a bar or coffee shop, or asking someone directions (even if I don't need directions). That habit has forced me to stay out of the shell so many travelers crawl into, and I've met some great people during my travels.

At this point I am convinced that the decision to define UI layouts in XML instead of code has been a terrible mistake.

- For starters, it's overly verbose. If you've worked with stuff like XAML in WPF or XML layouts on Android, you know how quickly those files tend to get bloated.

- It does not lend itself well to reuse compared to, well, actual code. Which means there tends to be a lot of repetition. Which leads to more bloat.

- Editing XML kind of sucks. You're more at risk of making silly typos that won't be caught at compile time.

- XML namespaces make an already verbose language even more verbose, not to mention just generally confusing.

- At some point you will need to access your user interface from your application code. Which means you end up with silly stuff like findViewById() to bridge the gap, adding even more boilerplate to your code.

- You essentially have to learn two different sets of APIs which do the same thing. <Button title="blah"/> vs button.setTitle("blah"). Why?

The only real strengths of XML are that 1) it's declarative, 2) it's hierarchical, and 3) it's diffable. But code can be too, without all of these other drawbacks.

Fortunately it seems like the industry is starting to figure this out with things like SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose. I really think we're going to look back in a few years and think it was ridiculous that we used to do this stuff in XML.

These kinds of comments are driving me crazy. I rarely see articles on HN anymore, good or bad, where people in the comments aren't fussing about "clickbait". Call it substanceless, call it sensational, call it fluff, but at this point clickbait is virtually an empty term, a thought-terminating cliche. Much like "fake news", it metastasized beyond the useful meaning it used to have to a cliche used to dismiss things people don't like.

More to your point, if I'm going to take the accusation of "clickbait" seriously, the article elaborates on what the headline says, and substantiates it. It doesn't mention the contaminant, but that doesn't make it "clickbait".

I'm no expert, but isn't a branch in git just a label (i.e. a pointer) for a commit? In fact you can have orphaned commits in your reflog that are not pointed by any branch (and will be GC'd at some point).

I guess you mean that hg commits do not have parent pointers and are thus not intrusively chained in trees, while an hg branch is a separate non-intrusive construct?
"User experience design" is one of the most pretentious titles that Design (with a big D in front) has ever appropriated. As if a designer (little d) can really design an experience... Experiences unfold in realtime, shaped by a multitude of forces which the designer could never predict or even begin to comprehend.

This article reminds us to focus on what Design (big D) once knew when our practice focused on interactions and augmenting human intellect... affordances, feedback, loops.

I disagree that this works out well, because - perhaps unlike the data-driven companies - I don't believe the measure of a good program is the number of registered users. I believe it's just a half of the equation, and the actual equation looks more like (number of users * average utility for user)[0]. Whenever you dumb down your application by removing useful features or sacrificing ergonomics for looks, you're trading average utility for adoption. The software is more appealing to more people, but less useful to them[1].

It does fuck over power-users, but it also fucks over regular users. Not only doing tasks takes longer than it could (or than it took in previous generations of equivalent software), it often precludes them from becoming power users. Because a "power user" of a specific suite of software is something a person becomes over time and repeated exposure. Which includes essentially everyone doing a full-time job in front of computers. I believe dumbed down software is causing a huge hidden economic loss in reduced efficiency of office workers. Not to mention their misery.

(A good example here would be POS systems. If you've ever seen a DOS based one, you'll know it's an order of magnitude more efficient to use than the current breed of browser-based ones. The old-school UI was clean, ergonomic, consistent and fully keyboard-operated, allowing to do most tasks without even looking at the screen for most of the time. There was a relevant thread on HN recently[2].)
