Some steps for making Facebook more manageable:

1. Deliberately go through and prune your friends list down to people you actually interact with or care about updates from

2. Any time someone shares something you think is dumb, click on the corner of the post and select "Hide all from <page>". This lets you hide anything your friends share from various meme sites without blocking their legitimate posts

3. Any time you see an ad for a product you don't care about or don't want to see, click "Hide ad" then it will pop up a dialog and you can select "Hide all ads from <company>"

4. Go through your "liked" pages and unlike / unfollow any that are irrelevant to you.

I do all of the above and Facebook often just stops loading content for me after the first 20 or so posts.

My wife does none of the above and can easily scroll for an hour without reaching an end to the content.

> Each desktop app is shipping almost a full browser

Unless you use the OS included web view.

We used this approach in a project last year and we went from about 100MB for an Electron macOS app to 4MB. Memory consumption also went down drastically although I don't remember concrete numbers.

> RAM/CPU bloat issues are real

If you only use the web view for the GUI it should be pretty lean.

> there's far too much overhead for trivial things

You can easily solve the IPC problem by using a local web server and making requests from your web view. Also, the IPC overhead is only a problem in intensive use cases many of which can be mitigated by moving logic away from the web view and into your native layer.

render(welcome('lit-html'), document.getElementById('lit-welcome'));
Yes. We're laughing at the idiocy, but the idiocy is becoming more and more entrenched. And more and more idiotic.

And we're also missing the subtext - which isn't specifically about using Kali etc, but about the implication that anyone clever, curious, and different should be considered dangerous.
Sure, but I find these sorts of sanctions to be ineffective at the stated goals of preventing killings, etc. And Russia and China, at least, were not planning to participate, leaving a wide open avenue. The UNSC couldn't pass sanctions because of their vetoes.

That's kind of extremist, isn't it?

Plenty of startups are bootstrapped, one or two people, and can survive just fine using basic tooling. The free offerings from Gitlab and Bitbucket (which include private repos) are just fine for a lot of startups.

Not all startups are your VC backed unicorns.

I had a male friend with a mother that did that. As a child I didn’t recognize it, but as it was explained to me in adulthood, the reason he played guitar, got quarterback lessons, and started to hang out in groups with cooler kids (or at least larger and larger groups of kids) was because his mother was orchestrating the whole thing to make him more popular.

I’m pretty sure that put enormous pressure on him and filled him with anxieties. Last I heard he dropped out of undergrad, and his sisters all look like they have eating disorders.

I wouldn’t try to touch my kid’s social status with a ten foot pole, aside from perhaps ensuring they have at least an average level of wealth relative to their peers. If anything popularity needs to be downplayed

Completely and utterly disagee. I'm not even a big fan of slack, but email is -terrible-. I can't tell you how many lists I'm on now where someone poses a question and 50 people all reply all with the same thing. And that's not counting the people who probably started a reply then saw the flurry and didn't send, or the people who replied privately. That's one huge benefit to slack in well organized channels. You pose a question to a group, and generally if one person starts typing, you wait to see if your reply is needed.

While we are recommending language choices, I'd also suggest going through the effort of finding a unique name for your product or service. Or at least re-using an existing name from an entirely different domain.
Depends how "real" of a startup you are.

VC backed? Ya, you'd probably just pay someone else to handle it - it's not your money after all...

Bootstrapping with a friend as a side gig until you have something viable... you're probably going to go with the free/cheapest option possible - scaling up as necessary and not a second before.
Ask HN: How do you prepare for presentations/tech talks?
I tend to rely a lot on "presenter notes" (text that only the presenter, and not the audience, can see), to the point that if the talk is a bit long or complex, I literally read out loud my own notes. This has the advantage of not having to "memorize" anything, and the disadvantage of not keeping a lot of eye contact with the audience.

I wonder if most people memorize what they'll say on each slide or just come up with something on the spot. Both options seem really hard and tiresome to me.

Skimming over it, the implementation looks inefficient:

int matchstar(int c, char *regexp, char *text)
{
do { /* a * matches zero or more instances */
if (matchhere(regexp, text))
return 1;
} while (*text != '\0' && (*text++ == c || c == '.'));
return 0;
}

That can be used to match short strings, but not to grep through a filesystem. A good regex matcher has runtime O(N*M) where N is the length of the regex (typically very short) and M is the length of the scanned text.
I think I can relate to your experience, from similar anxiety moments under some cocktail of sustances (alcohol and weed for me in my youth).

The benefit of web components is interoperability. It doesn't matter what build tools you might or might not use to make web components, you consumer them the same way:

1. Load the definition
2. Create an element with any DOM API or HTML.

Nothing about web components says you shouldn't use dependencies or build steps.

For an open source app distributed on the App Store, is there actually any way of verifying that what you get on your phone is the same as the source code you can read?
Yes, other countries—specifically ones with more open and free societies—tend to do better on this and numerous other issues. Most of China’s current economic position is due to two factors: 1) the population numbers game; 2) the theft of others’ work (it’s debatable which has been more critical).

I wouldn’t care about China’s economic ascendance or even that they used thievery to get it if the country weren’t an oppressive dictatorship. This isn’t merely a cultural difference: China’s government is absolutely something anybody who values freedom and egalitarianism should be in opposition to.

Reading news is useful if it helps inform you about issues that you can take action to help address whether via voting or other political action.

This is most pertinent at the local level where your vote has more impact and it's more feasible to take action on specific issues when you learn about them.

Reading about presidential scandals every day when you likely already know who you're voting for just drags you down and benefits no one besides the media companies profiting off your attention.
This is a tiring trope.

It’s like how the music industry kept saying that people would no longer sing and make songs, because piracy would prevent them from doing so. As if there was no money to be made, and money was the only point of singing. As if piracy ever stopped people from singing for the past 10,000 years.

Well, artists do make money from songs, by having concerts. They are selling the service and the experience of of a live performance. This was the way that it had always been done throughout human history.

Or Apple for example, they don’t make money from selling software, but they make it from selling very expensive hardware, that they force to expire after a few years.
It's basically wild wild west anarchism. It's like take "western capitalism" and extrapolate to a worse place. I get that western capitalism (whatever that actually means anymore) has gone off the rails some. But seeing the Chinese approach as a just come-uppance is like being glad that killers have showed up to get rid of all of the bullies. It just gets worse.
. . . At 2 a.m. Thursday morning, employees got a Slack message that said some internal systems were being locked so that engineers would not able to deploy code or make significant data changes. Also on Tuesday, an IT team in the Berlin office was laid off, according to an employee who was among those who lost their jobs. The former employee, who asked to remain anonymous, said more layoffs were to come in Boston. Around 10 a.m. in the Copley Place mall, scores of employees began to descend the escalator from Wayfair’s offices. Many were visibly upset and declined to comment about the layoffs. . .

Appears management wisely took the initiative to prevent disgruntled employees from seeking revenge, something Telsa suffered.

and Assad/Russia want people to believe that "the alternative is worse." The alternative is self-rule by the sweet, generous, loving people of Syria. Somehow, a social media campaign has convinced the world otherwise. Saying that there is a worse alternative, when half a million Syrians were killed (and counting), is to reduce Syrians to subhumans. That is especially insulting given that the alternative is often cited as "ISIS," even though Assad is the one who invited ISIS into the country, and the primary victims of ISIS were Syrians.

It's a start. It's good that it's open source, but that's necessary not sufficient to establish trust for something which requires such significant privileges.

You also want to be able to know who the authors are, to evaluate them for trustworthiness, and to evaluate their processes to see how well hardened they are against malicious contributions.
You either missed the context or misread the post. Pixel tracking refers to using any kind of beacons to send back data (originally images but now also JS tags) and there are many ways to optimize.

This has nothing to do with lazy-loading image tags. This browser-native functionality doesn't add any kind of new tracking, and pixels are never lazy-loaded anyway because they need to be fired as soon as possible to ensure data capture. Nothing about this new API changes anything for ads.

I think it's flawed logic to say that first class is subsidizing coach.

Sure, they are paying more per person. But in exchange they are getting more room, more attention from attendants, boarding first, etc.

If the plane was completely full of people in coach and had no first class at all, I don't think that means the airlines would lose money.

Also, if there were no people in coach, then the first class tickets would be astronomical.
> There is virtually no nuance in the reporting.

If you want to read ad-supported news, then you will be stuck with news that is intended to have the lowest possible production costs, and garner the most possible eyeballs. This business does not support nuance, because nuance is expensive and less audacious.

Nuanced reporting exists on essentially every topic that it is possible to care about, but it is often in smaller paid publications.
The point is that native lazy-loading is not useful for ad tracking. If there's JS then there are other methods to check viewability. If there's no JS then there are no ads at all.

Unfortunately, our objects are not isolated, they interact with the world, and often need to be shared when we cannot copy the resource (performance). Eg. a (partitioned) rendering surface may be written simultaneously, a physics engine needs to know what objects are in the game world, multiple bank accounts need to be updated simultaneously, etc. By design is not always possible to sequence, some transactions must be atomic across multiple objects.

DNS tlds as they exist today are in centralized control by ICANN, a California public benefit corporation. Recently, activity originating from ICANN including removing price caps on .org [1] and the .org billion dollar sale [2] have brought the community to alarm [3].

SSL certificates can be issued by any of the CAs. Multiple CAs can issue SSL certificates for the same namespace. This has led to some activity that has weakened internet security [4].

Handshake gives control of the root zone away from ICANN, a California corporation, to the blockchain and community consensus and strengthens internet security, removing trust from the equation as everything is verifiable on chain. Applying blockchain in this way uniquely solves these problems and gives control over the internet that we all love, back to the people.
