Hello, thanks for reading my (probably not really kind) feedback!

> All I can tell you is that right now, CJK, Cyrillic etc. are still on my radar.

That's great to hear! As I've mentioned in another comment, I'm not opposed to simple software - simpler is better, but not at the sake of features. I would truly be very grateful if you can implement the level of support in simpler code.

> Actually, suckless projects are getting a lot better about this recently.

That's great to hear. I hope projects become simpler and more correct.

Thanks for caring, and writing this library!
ZEIT always sounded me something from Templars.
The problem isn't Java, after all Photoshop also has performance issues when compared with its old self, and it is C++.

The problem is that mechanical sympathy seems to be a lost art, and it is going to be slow as molasses regardless of the language being used.

> You'll need apps for each platform

For many apps that's not hard. E.g. a pizza app like that is hardly going to take more than some hours to implement with whatever a toolkit. Almost every other app which is bloat-free and made to do just one job is going to be a similar case.

> people (myself included) trust websites much more than native apps

Because websites are sandboxed and updated. Right? Both things are already addressed in all the major OSes although there still is a huge lot of room for improvement.

> you'll need a browser version anyway.

Sure but as a user I can name quite a list of heavyweight websites which are pain to use and could fit a native app perfectly.
If that's a testing mistake and gives rise to political pressure, it's a disaster
Definitely what you say is the accepted meaning. But wouldn’t you say A1 is more correct than A2? Possibly relevant, there’s also

I did notice a spike in comments on some fora along the lines of 'let it fall apart', where it refers to the current cart I suppose. There is a really strong dissatisfaction with current situation and it has to be addressed or at least channelled.

I read one of Michael Pollen's books on food a few years back and the argument is something along the lines of: "Eat real food, not too much, mostly plants. Avoid 'edible food-like substances'." To my mind that is an argument against something like "impossible burger" as a regular food.

A breakfast of a super-processed, vegan, organic waffle, soy egg replacement and faux bacon is not much better for you than the pancake house originals. If at all. Sometimes it is a fun social thing to get fast food or something off a grease truck. More than once a week or so its not doing you very much good.

There is variety in diet - I find the whole genetic diet idea intriguing. Though right now it is rife with pseudoscience. (I did geno-palate and found it thought provoking.) Different things work for different people - but I would bet Pollen's dicta are a pretty good base to start with and they experiment from.

The cynical side of me things the BK campaign is probably bs. They will figure out another way to give us cancer, heart disease and diabetes. But it is very good to get us to think about what we all are putting in our mouths. Is it really real?
I use ZEIT for my side projects now. It is extremely efficient and time saver.
Generally, my experience is that astroturfing tends to occur for topics that are:

1. Unpopular with the population (or at least heavily divisive)

2. That one or more parties seeks to profit/gain from

Neither is really the case with the lockdown, or extending it. A majority seem to support these social distancing measures, and it's not good for business to continue them.

If you want the equivalent from the Dems, then see the ShareBlue stuff on Reddit and their actions on Reddit/social media sites.

Yep, turning my computer into a heater doing cold winter.

Sometimes it is really important.
Totally get that. In RPGs I still sometimes have the habit of reloading if things don't go as planned and feel like this ruins the fun for me. Getting rid of engrained habits is hard :/

On the other hand, I really like having spaghetti factories. Having the same few pattern repeat a bazillion times just looks boring. Would love to stumble over my first saves, since those were the most organically grown. But back then I believe saves were stored in the install dir and i most certainly have uninstalled my "non-steam version" since.

Thankfully, by now I mostly internalized that planning the perfect factory will actually take me more time than just building something good enough and upgrading/replacing it later.

That quote sounds silly to me. What is real food? How much can you handle and manipulate a food until its not real anymore? Can you grind it up and make homemade burgers? Can you add a little bread crumbs to help it bind? Is bread a real food?
>>on the altar of the economy.

Well that tells me some of my earlier assumption are infact going to end up being correct in that your political and economic positions lean pretty close to Authoritarian Socialism vs my Libertarian Free Market views

I completely reject this idea that the economy should be ignored in a time of crisis, and I also believe that if the lock down extends beyond the 2nd week of may the actual death rate due to economic loss will be higher than that of the virus. Unemployment does direct cause death, both due to increase rates of suscide, property crime, homelessness and other conditions.

This idea that the economy is some religion that we want to " sacrifice people lives on" is a completely disingenuous comment and appears you are the one making assumptions now about my beliefs

I think there was and is a better way to handle pandemics. Better than simply shutting down the entire economy, locking people in their homes, putting millions out for work, shutting permanently thousands of business, destroying Families, etc all the while expecting fiat currency printing and debt to get us through.

The economy does matter, livelihoods do matter, that is not a alter for people to be sacrifice on, it is reality. Ignore it at your own peril. I suspect given the general user base on HN, that your job (like mine) is insulated from the economic effects of this, I may see a 4-8% reduction in income this year over last. Where we differ is I recognize that not everyone is as lucky as I am, I am not about to scream "let me eat cake" and ignore their economic hardship like you seem to be able to do easily

That's a pretty narrow definition of loyalty. You are assuming that it's just a thing bought with money.

You can be loyal to the values that your company represent or the values you expect it to hold.

A company that behaves callously doesn't reflect well on the employees that represent it.

These employees may have higher expectations of what their company behaviour should be.

You don't need to reward people with money for them to defend that.
I think the only time Google still reliably gives better results than Duckduckgo is for non-English languges (which Qwant is good for), or when Google has something indexed and Bing/DDG does not.

But taking it as a given the Google's results are better, is that really because of lack of privacy, or just because of how Google has been pouring more money and talent into the problem longer than anyone else? Because I'm not convinced that personal data is particularly useful for generating search results. The example they always give is determining whether a search for "jaguar" means the cat or the car. But that always seemed silly to me, because most searches are going to give extra context to disambiguate ("jaguar habitat"), and even they don't, the user is smart enough to type "jaguar car" if they're not getting the right results. Further, Google doesn't actually know whether I'm more interested in cars or cats—it justs know that I'm a woman in college, so it guesses that I'm less interested in cars. Is that really so useful?

Does searching Google through Tor give noticeably worse results than searching google while logged in? I would be genuinely surprised if it did.
I don't know that's why that account always gets downvoted; that's just a hypothesis. I don't know who downvotes. And I've never bothered reporting to admin.

The internet has a small set of hyperactive people. It has a larger number of people (like me) who don't bother with karma. And a huge number of people who check out and don't participate in discussions. I don't think there's much alignment between the groups, and who you want posting.

The mods / downvoters / etc. are in the hyper-active group, and on most sites, overactive mods tend to lead to echo chambers, and to a lot of people checking out. I haven't left HN because of this (I think the karma minimum for downvoting helps a lot), but I've left many web sites when they became too dumb or too one-sided.

HN hasn't yet gone stupid, but there is a strong correlation between downvotes and political alignment. I'm not so much talking about just left/right, but also libertarian, tech elitist, etc. I think 90% of whether my posts end up +10 or -2 depends on how well they align.

I will go out on a limb and say that the issues you describe had more to do with your internet connection(s) than with VoiP.

In the mid-2000s, I used Vonage (VoiP) from Japan to the US all the time. People were shocked because it sounded like I was right next to them. My grandmother actually thought I was bamboozling her by saying I was in Japan because she thought that there was no way it could be so clear.

Granted, I was usually dialing my VoiP on a blistering fast internet connection (not in Tokyo, to be fair) to a POTS line in the US, but the connection was amazing.

So I wonder how 10 years ago the VoiP-VoiP connection was so poor. Do you think it was basic internet speed (which the US has historically been behind other developed countries), or do you think it was something else?
Thanks. The reason for the tabs is that each article has many sections (CPU, graphics, audio, etc) so I imagined some people may be more interest particular sections than others.
For this, if you find something interesting, you can use the tabs to read more about it. Otherwise, you only have to scroll down a little bit.
This behaviour is only found when viewed on a desktop pc by the way, mobile users will see a long page.

Anyway, I’m not a professional web designer, the tabs are just an attempt to keep the info concentrated.

I think the issue is that this is a good heuristic, but a shitty rule.

You'll do well if you follow it, but you can find another set of rules (or heuristics) that you can follow, and you'll do well too despite completely violating that one.
Awesome. I normally work on just web apps but had to build a website recently that had some complex bits in some pages but mainly a marketing site. The experience with nextjs and deploying with zeit was brilliant. Docs are good, everything works well, just an all round good experience. Please don't break it!
On the contrary, this feature has existed for decades. It’s called user-selectable alternative stylesheets: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Alternative.... But because no one used it, the feature has not been better positioned in more recent browser UI redesigns, so it’s close to inaccessible in most browsers now. No idea if Chrome and related browsers expose it at all, or even if they’ve ripped the functionality out altogether somewhere along the way.
It's not that different from other social endeavors. If you don't have existing social connections, meaning people don't know who you are, it's tough. If you're already "famous" you could be posting third-rate content and get decent engagement. Even if you get a few posts to go viral it doesn't help you in the big scheme of things if you cannot convert it into a relationship.

At the end of the day it's all people on the other side. Think how to get them to like YOU, not your posts.
Pretty sure OP is trying to grow a community/following about a relevant subject so his marketing is effective.

Your right, we should ignore statistical evidence and go with your wife's anecdotal evidence. Your also right about letting the experts run our lives. After all they know far more about how the world works than we could ever know and we should just buckle down and do the menial tasks we're good at and let the experts take care of us.
Zeit means "time" in German, is the name of a German newspaper, and surely made organic SEO a challenge...much like Now did.

It doesn't matter that people find the moldiness disgusting, as long as people talk about it. Clever.

Also for all the fact that this is a stab at McDonalds, their decision to rebrand to green more than a decade ago (in Europe, and maybe elsewhere?) truly was prescient.
No, I mean that this replacement of U and "COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT" with a single codepoint for "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH GRAVE" can happen in a separate step in a separate library before that modified string is passed on to the text rendering library. I'm not entirely sure whether this works for "style ligatures", but it definitely works for umlauts and similar characters in all European languages.
Also, you'll have to update the software, publish it to app stores/package repos, pester users of outdated versions, deal with security vulnerabilities...
Oh, I felt that one in my mid-thirties soul.

I used to waste/invest so much time into games, but now with a wife+kid+job I just don't want to spend my precious time on just any game. It has to be THE game. The perfect game.

Alas, I haven't found it yet. (Factorio comes very close, but it is too time intensive. You can't just play Factorio for 30 minutes.)
Might be an EU thing. Pretty sure there's a regulation that says new lifts need to announce floors even cheap hoists that only go one floor do it.
The other thing is that it goes at a speed that we can comprehend.

If I type

for (let i = 1; i <= 10; i++) console.log(`Round ${i}`)

And you run that in your console, it happens in the blink of an eye. Not with Factorio, it's fast, but we can still follow it. We can still see the individual materials being inserted or taken out.

That makes me think of a project idea: create an environment that executes fast but not at the speed of a computer (like Factorio).
So ISPs could still impose traffic shaping on Netflix if they wanted to, I take it? I can't see how Netflix could prevent this. Ultimately, their servers ('OCAs') have easily detectable IP addresses, right?
It's a German word and the name of one of Germany's biggest newspapers, and probably part of the name of dozens of businesses in all kinds of industries in Germany.

Using a made-up brand name is the standard way to avoid potential trademark conflicts, and at the same time be more easily findable via Google.

Great! Over the past 2 years I've found it worth migrating more and more of my infra to NixOS. Now my laptop, media server, router, and VPSs all run NixOS.

From Debian+cfgmgmt to NixOS I've gone from a feeling of dread that my machine wouldn't be rebuildable, to confidence they can.

A build tool to construct a Linux machine conceptually makes more sense to me than taking a distro and repeatedly mutating it.

NixOS's model is similar to React's: build the system/value you want, and NixOS will perform the diff/apply to your actual machine.

The downsides are:

* It doesn't look like an ordinary Linux machine. No FHS.

* CLI tooling is a bit awkward.

* Short support for stable releases. I see NixOS being suitable for rolling release, even in a production environment. NixOS's repo and your own repo can easily add multi-machine integration tests so NixOS machines can use familiar techniques like CI/CD/push-on-green.
I get the vibes that thrwaway69 does it professionally. Maybe some social media manager job? In that case a tabletop game club will not be helpful.
And also, arguably, an economic one. A population where everyone over 50 (middle class or not) is afraid to do anything in public because a deadly pandemic is rampant, will not be conductive to an economic recovery.

I've seen multiple economists make that argument in the last few weeks. The view that it's the economy vs. health & safety is very much contested.

Well you've got no moral rights to lock person up for a year or two with totally unknown outcome. If you are so eager to save public funds you have a lots of places to start shaving. You might be amazed when you look how governments spend money. Also if locked up for extended amount of time said person is likely develop whole bunch of ailments include mental that would "overwhelm"(tm) healthcare as well unless you deny them treatment and let them wonder the streets. Likely loss of income will cause the same thing, them being kicked out from their dwellings.

Most Vegans are not Vegans for the health benefits. They have other reasons.

Likewise, I think most people going after "impossible burgers" aren't doing it because they think it's healthier. (I won't deny that some think that, though.) Some were just trying it out, some were thinking they're saving animals, and yes, a few thought it was healthier in some way. (And in some ways, they probably are, but not in others.)

That said, I don't think "impossible burgers" are "food-like". They are food. Food-like, to me, would be things like gummy bears and Jello. Not only are they oddly manufactured, but they aren't part of a balanced diet. They are pure luxury. Other snacks like potato chips and Cheetos are in this category, too.

If I weren't dieting because I'm overweight (and just a smidgen away from "medically obese", which is less than it sounds but still medically relevant) I'd eat that kind of food all the time. (Thus how I got into this weight situation.)
