Every single operational reason is a technical reason if it touches operation of the technology.

> By the way, Caddy CAN store certs in a database accessed by multiple servers. It coordinates cert management when configured as a cluster, automatically. Caddy is the only server that does this (for free

An edge web server should carry no knowledge of a concept of a cluster. It should simply be able to ask something for a cert. Otherwise it is a screw that insists that in order for it be used in high rise, it needs to be used in a specific pattern that the screw designer envisioned.

If you want to make Caddy easily adoptable in high rises I suggest the following path:

1. Subscribe to events saying "fetch this cert from here"

2. Emit events saying "Need to renew X" when you need to renew.

3. Create ability to forward renew requests to renew requests processor.

4. Make request processor update the cert store and emit the event that the key pair is available.
Only the FAANG companies and some enterprise-focused businesses (Salesforce), all formed > 15 years ago, can be said to be 'booming'. The rest can't feasibly be profitable without ducking municipal and labor regulations (Uber, Airbnb), or requiring eye-watering sums of money to establish the monopoly position they need to take themselves into the the black (WeWork, Uber).

Is it still a 'boom' if valuations can collapse on the opinions of a single large investor (Softbank)? Or if Uber walks back its glittering visions of self-driving cars to focus on e-scooters and food delivery?

If developers use Firefox instead of Chrome you do get some rendering bugs in Chrome. Standard compliance have gotten much better, but at one point in my last project Edge, Safari, Chrome, and Firefox where all doing different things while I was trying to fix an odd CSS issue.

It seems to require so much CSS knowledge that you might as well just use regular class names and write the CSS components yourself as it requires you to understand how flexbox etc works anyway to use it's utility classes properly.
Severity can give you a prioritization within priority categories. Fix the severe high-priority bugs first, then the less severe ones, then on to medium-priority.

> 2) healthcare providers in developing countries will effectively get a low-cost "upgrade" to their existing equipment

I am VERY pessimistic about this. I don't know how well you know medical equipment providers but this will never be sold as a low-cost "upgrade" to existing machines. It will be sold with new equipment only and with a hefty surcharge as an option enabling higher patient throughput.

There is no real money in upgrades. Most equipment lasts only 8-10 years anyway.

Just because the instructions are convoluted and implemented by people who don't code the math themselves doesn't mean the outcomes are removed from the inputs. It's still a machine.

Heuristics use random number generators and produce random (non-deterministic) results, is that not following instructions written by programmers?
I think the grandparent comment is envisioning something more like Docker than like e.g. the JRE.

This is actually already how the Microsoft Visual Studio C Runtime (aka MSVCRT) is distributed: each application embeds or streaming-downloads the exact [ABI] version of the runtime it needs, but only one of each exact [ABI] version of the runtime needs to exist per system, and each of those runtimes can be upgraded by the OS to resolve security problems (while never altering the ABI guarantees that version distribution makes.)

As such, a runtime built this way is a lot like a base layer in a Docker image: it’s a static dependency of the app, installed during the app’s installation, and held in a pseudo content-addressable store that deduplicates it from other apps’ demands for the same dependency.
For my hobbyist-tier and personal web stuff I'm pretty annoyed at how active webserver management is becoming, largely over SSL stuff. No more setting up Apache and enabling auto-security-updates for your package manager then not touching the server for years. I get why but it still kinda sucks.
Tailwind UI is not a theme, it's a component library. The target audience is different.

I bought this the moment I got the email about it this morning because this is going to help my productivity in building web applications. When you use Tailwind, you aren't using a pre-made theme as you would with a bootstrap theme you buy, you are designing it from scratch.

With this UI kit you'll get some nice building blocks to become even more productive, but you'll still end up modifying stuff to make it yours.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

AFAIK, there's a difference between MSHTML (internet explorer) and EdgeHTML (edge / trident). But even then, Edge can be somewhat lacking depending on your use case [1]. For simple apps that just need a simple UI without spending time developing cross-platform, this solution is great! Unfortunately the projects I've had to develop require newer features and/or performance lent by using the Chromium Embedded Framework that simply aren't possible, even if Edge was available.

It's because most people go to our website already knowing they need to use Let's Encrypt, and they've found it by searching for a server that works with Let's Encrypt. Hence, we don't make that detail our front-and-center. Instead, we're targeting people who don't already know what Caddy is. The information is readily available in the docs.

I was a masters NA Zerg, not quite at your level but we probably could have met in the ladder at some point.

I totally agree, I just think it's not great advice to say "if you want to get good go after the meta". Some gaming communities over emphasize the meta and IMO StarCraft is one of them. Meta is just one aspect of ways to get an edge and as you progress in your skill you need to take advantage of every edge you can get.

Many StarCraft streamers will do challenges where they only go for a certain, non dominate strategy to see how high they can rise, the one that stuck with me the most was destiny going mass queen. I saw so many people asking "what can counter mass queen" because they saw him winning over and over again. The answer wasn't how should you change your strat to deal with someone going mass queen, they aren't that good, the answer was to be better at macro than that player.
So you support extrajudicial assassinations when it's someone you don't like? You would probably be up in arms if someone would write here "hope CIA slip something into Assange's tea one day."
This is a sham as his trial in the US, which is inevitable, will be. The US will not stop at anything in this case because leaking a video showing that US soldiers enjoy killing children is worse for them than actually killing children. This video showed the world what everyone already knew: that the US, and specifically the US armed forces, have no ethics, no morals, no qualms about killing children even when it's unnecessary. This isn't about endangering troops. This is about image only. Frankly, I hope the leaks did endanger troops. Scum soldiers that enjoy killing children deserve to die as do their superiors who almost certainly encouraged it and certainly didn't punish it. The US armed forces have no honor and they should be ashamed of themselves as should the government that starts bullshit wars and kills millions of innocents. This applies to everyone from the commander in chief to the lowest soldier. As a fellow American, I despise them for their service and they can all go fuck themselves. The video that Assange leaked is just one example of many of despicable behavior and the fact that they are punishing him rather than the animals who enjoy killing children is indefensible, immoral, and reflects on the entire armed forces institutions. Fuck them.

As a former tech recruiter, I can say that March of 2009 was not a pretty time to be looking for work. A lot of people got the axe, and developer supply outstripped demand for a time. I remember posting one ad on craigslist for a Sr. Software Engineer for a seed stage startup in Mountain View and getting 66 applications within a very short period of time, and the candidates were mostly pretty good. Getting that many qualified candidates was very unusual at that time.
That's a conflict of interest, not anti-competitive.
In many countries it's common for an entire apartment building to have a single number (or one number per floor) and then a letter for the individual apartments (1A, 1B, 5C, etc).

There may also be an addition of multiple letters. For example: in the Netherlands it is not uncommon to see a number like '45 bis' or even '45 bis B'.

'bis' is latin for 'twice', indicating that the building was split into 2 separate houses at some point in time.

A comparable behaviour can be seen for years now on iOS. Chrome for iOS is advertised where possible, even if you would like to open a hyperlink from the show notes of a YouTube movie: You are offered to open this link with Chrome ("download"), Google App ("download"), or even with Safari ("open"). There's no real use for the user having Chrome on iOS as long as it has to use WebKit as a rendering engine, the same engine Safari uses. But there is surely a usage for Google, monetizing the user's browsing profiles.

Hey HN! We're Tristan & Greg from Chops https://www.getchops.app/ . Chops is an iOS music making app that lets you make beats with your voice. We're currently running a closed TestFlight beta, and are planning to launch soon.

Tristan and I are both musically inclined without being professional musicians. Our Voice Memos apps are filled with bits of song ideas that we recorded as inspiration struck. An issue we've seen with recording these snippets is that 1) you can't layer your voice easily without using a specialized looper app and 2) it always sounds... like your voice. We're not pro beatboxers, so our "voice drums" don't sound that great. Enter Chops.

We've designed a way to create drum tracks using your voice -- you "sing" the drums and then pick a drum sound (kick, snare, hi-hats, etc.). Check out the video on our page to get an idea of how it works.

We're super excited to push this idea much further, and to make music making more accessible, intuitive and fun. We feel that there should be a larger overlap between music "fans" -- this includes people that sing along to songs, that hum tunes, that make up songs for their families -- and "musicians" as the term is too commonly defined (e.g., people with a musical education, professional artists, etc.)

If you feel even a tiny bit musically inclined, we'd love to have you be part of this beta round!

Reach out to us hello@getchops.app for any questions or AMA here. Thanks a lot!

FTA, severity reflects "a bug’s impact to the functionality of the system", while priority reflect the

The point of this system is that high-severity bugs might have lower priority than low-severity bugs if you take business requirements into consideration. Yet, this does not mean that severity should be ignored.

Looks like IKEA doesn't use brominated flame retardants.

The underlying problem here is that furniture doesn't need flame retardants, period. You wind up with this weird mouse & cat game. A drive to replace one additive just find something new, previously unknown, and possibly worse.

For example banning lead additives from gasoline was a good thing. It was replaced with MTBE which causes to groundwater contamination. This has now been banned in the US, which ironically sees ethanol replacing it. Ethanol production obviously predates gasoline, so it could have been used all along.

The problem with this IMO is that some enterprising person will just use regular tailwind (or another utility-css framework like tachyons) and re-implement all of these components and give it out for free, circumventing the license and killing the value of this.

Normally with themes it would be time prohibitive to do so, but the nature of utility-css is that it's relatively straightforward to implement each component, even without looking at the CSS that's obviously easy to inspect.

I think what they should do is build a tool that let's you build your entire site using these components and charge for that. Otherwise, I guarantee within a year of today, 2/26/20 there will be a free version of this on GitHub created by the community.

---

On a side note, if some bored person out there wants to make a huge splash in the CSS community, figuring out a way to target a specific DOM element, create the equivalent of an AST and specify a "dictionary", which would be a utility-css framework (tailwind, tachyons, basecss, etc) and finally reimplement the targeted DOM element in the chosen framework would be amazing.

Assuming you buy into utility-css, that would remove all existing friction in adopting it. Then that would mean you could grab an existing theme [1] and convert it to tailwind components as desired.

I get where you're going with this. You are talking about macro phenomena of multitudes of simple axioms interacting with each other.

Let me put it this way:

Given an exact set of tax laws, network standards or traffic rules I can implement this perfectly and easily with types, intuition and programming methodology alone. (Another hint: don't use mutable variables or even better forego variables and go point free; it eliminates a whole class of bugs that has to do with state.)

Implementing a specification is trivial even when the specification is complex. It's simply a mapping from english to programming logic. There is little complexity here.

I think what you're getting at is a sort of derivation of the specification from a macro goal.

For example, what is the best way to tax society so that society has maximal benefit and zero loop holes for bad actors? What is the best way to create a set of traffic rules and network standards so that throughput is maximized, fair among everyone, and (most importantly) 100% bug free?

This is hard and specs derived from a macro goal can be bad or wrong. This also usually happens before programming begins.

Bad specs are not something that unit tests are really used for. Unit tests are used for logic errors. To catch where a programmer implemented a spec incorrectly.

While I can see some logical value for using unit tests to test for macro level goals this stuff in practice happens at the IO level and is the domain of integration tests. You are not testing a "unit" when measuring a macro level goal, the philosophy of an integration test applies in this case because a macro level goal is basically operating at the integration level rather than the unit level.

I don't think that's a 100% accurate statement. My understanding is that JIT techniques do often allow non-native code to run faster than native code by taking advantage of information during the programs runtime for optimization, in addition to specific hardware features that the compiled binary version may not have taken advantage of for compatibility reasons.

> A sense of 'NIMBY' overcomes me reading the pitty for Assange.

I don't get what you are saying. It sounds like we shouldn't complain about it happening here because it's happening in other places.

I count myself as part of a wider society of which the UK is a part. If we want to criticize other societies, like Russia for example, we better damn well make sure we don't run the same shit-shows of legal persecutions. I also have more influence over processes in my society, so it is logical to spend my efforts here. Lastly, I care more about due process in my society just out of self-preservation.

Your relativism is useless in deciding where to spend effort. If you don't care, sure, you don't have to. But don't piss on people that advocate for our liberties.

We? You're projecting your own callous ignorance. Just because you decided not to listen doesn't mean nobody spoke up.

> A business that would succeed in a stable environment may not in a volatile one.

True, but specifically a good tech business would be one that ought to at least survive in a volatile and capital-starved environment. Treating "good" here in a self-confirmatory sense, which I accept is something of a True Scotsman argument.
