Reddit is a feed, and therefore a link that was posted a month ago is no longer going to be seen by anyone. Basically, whatever appears to users between now and the moment when things drop off the page is a crap shoot, and Reddit will be inferior to a real web directory that can amass a larger collection of interesting links and, importantly, preserve them all together at one time.

Sorry for not responding earlier, I rarely check hacker news.

We did Seon meditation (Korea) which is a form of Koan practice (Hwadu).

I’ve had a permanent change in perspective and have a “base” that I return to whenever my spiritual practice seem to fade away. I don’t hold onto any particular insights because any realization I’ve had in the past are purely conceptual now.
Should you expect to be allowed to read all the laws for free? That has been a contentious issue.
https://developer.ibm.com/technologies/linux/articles/l-ppc/:

“The rotate instructions (like the rlicr seen here) are notoriously complicated, and having jokingly been called Turing-complete”
Yep, I can definitely agree there.

That said, I'd argue against strict stylistic rules, not against linters in general. For example, the common Javascript linter (ESLint) has a setup wizard that allows you to choose whether you just want to check for bugs, or also enforce style conventions, and will enable a predefined set of rules depending on your choice. The bug-spotter is the one that's preselected. This is a very reasonable approach to me.
As I said, I’m not defending the moon landing doubters. But it seems obvious to me that the recent increase in conspiracy theories is a direct result of unethical institutional and government actions coming to light.
Having followed the PostgREST project for years, it’s been wild to see the recent explosion of similar sorts of projects (as you describe); I’d very much believed this was a “solved problem”.
Why not just display the message and then allow users to use the app.

Punishing the users of an app for the behaviour of the store, while attention grabbing and potentially impactful, seems a bit like chucking the baby out with the bathwater.
Which source languages does it support?
You should get a breadboard, some components and a 5v power supply. Work through some problems in Practical Electronics for Inventors 3rd Edition. A scope would be nice, but a DMM would suffice.
I am one of them - Snap is generally not a "browse forever nonstop" engagement tool that's typical and standard behaviour for TikTok/FB/IG, it's actually somewhat used as a messaging tool (not that it precludes an excessively high volume of messages and groupchats)
FWIW, I spent my 20s mostly in NYC (although living across the river in NJ) so I'm not unfamiliar with the area. Granted, it's been a while.
> Understand that anything controversial or not in YC's interest will disappear and won't be available for 'evidence'.

Now I'm starting to get a little irritated. I know this is the internet, but do you really think it's ok to accuse people of outright corruption based on literally nothing? Would you like to be smeared in that way? Not only do we take great pains never to do anything of that nature, it is literally the first principle of HN moderation to do the opposite: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

What you're alleging would be both wrong and dumb. The good faith of the HN community is the only asset that YC has in HN. If that goes, the whole thing collapses. Why would we risk that? Taking the greatest care with it that we can is our #1 responsibility. Personally I wouldn't want this job if I had to do it any other way.

Another commenter in this thread made insinuations of this nature while mentioning the Triplebyte controversy from a couple weeks ago, apparently without noticing that it's a perfect counterexample to all of this.
Did it come internally? Didn't it just become obvious once they got there and nothing was there? Apologies, I'm not from the US so I didn't follow that closely
Wow. Now throw this into an MMO! :)
I can't see the parallel between the willful ignorance displayed and the "Dark Ages." Do you think the migrating tribes just refused to believe those aqueducts existed?
The whole thing seems like instant death every moment. Perhaps as test pilots they all got used to just trying to get on with things, but maybe they really did soil themselves like us mortals?
Are other intros not free?!
I actually still have zero idea how webpack configs and plugins really work. I just end up in a nested soup of config options where nothing really seems to be the same if it's defined at a different level. It eventually just randomly works. Every new plugin results in the order of things being randomly changed until it works again. It's bizarre. Truly unpleasant from an epistemological point of view - I want to understand but cannot.
> If you use Ubuntu or Debian, you can forget security

Why do you say so?
This is kind of a straw man?

Push notifications don't really affect battery that much to be noticeable, and even if they did that's only one of many reasons why native apps are better.
> I'm confused. Hillary isn't jewish. ...yet his daughter is. ...as is his grandson, and most of his New York friends - and also Jared Kushner.

You're probably confused because like a normal person you see a contradiction, and you appear to resolve it with the most charitable interpretation. Others may resolve it with the non charitable explanation.

He on the other hand has no problem with the contradiction of using an anti-semitic ad while having Jewish family if the ad resonates with his supporters and serves his interests, which it did.

This is one of his unique abilities: allegiance to nothing but himself, therefore contradictions that arise from loyalty to a principle or person are meaningless.
So the problem is having rules enabled that do not help prevent bugs. Actually running ESLint for the first time will ask you if you just want to check for bugs or also enforce some code style. The former is preselected, and would not shout at you for not using `const` or template strings.

I'd always argue for using it that way, which is very reasonable to me.

(A bit weird to have 30 years of muscle memory writing `let`, btw :) )
...wait a week then wash them off?
Sorry, I don’t really check HN. Breakthroughs in terms of understanding Dharma, the unending compassion for all sentient beings, and the overcoming of my own previous delusions and desires. They don’t last beyond the retreat - my takeaway is the most important thing in dharma practice is constant effort. (Sudden Enlightenment, Gradual Cultivation). There were so many instances where I thought I had something, only to have it slip away.
I get your sentiment, but I think it's a bit petty to wish windows wouldn't get better.

Competition is ultimately good, and we should promote Linux for the benefits it brings. Not hope windows will stagnate.
> but in practice means "create small, composable pieces which can be used together or separately to accomplish what you need."

Except they are not composable on a package managing level. At least they weren't Debian, back when I tried.

You cannot just pick some. Update a wrong package, and the whole systemd monolith came in via dependencies, throwing out the old initd system.

Add to that the amount of new bugs that always come in when you write something new, and you have a very unpleasant experience.

Add to that the "I don't care what other people think, I do it MY way, and now you all also have to do it my way, if you want or not" attitude, and I switched to Devuan and never looked back.

Systemd has lots of goods ideas. And the existing alternatives are really sucky in places (but at least you know where they suck, can can deal with it).

If they really had written a small init system, and allowed pick-and-choose replacement of other parts, it would have been awesome. But they didn't.

Copycloner: Save a Copy of Your Copies
A 1 GHz Cortex-8 is a ton of computing power. The proof of this is iOS itself. When you bring the GPU into the mix, it's obviously capable of a lot as an operating system. There are no problems displaying high resolution static content and video content on an iPad. But around the same time, it became fashionable to start rendering static content on the fly, maybe inserting some not-so-static content around it to justify this choice.

Add in advertising. And a browser that you might have trouble controlling script execution on.

Add in tracking. Remember that story about how eBay fingerprints your browser in part by mapping the open websockets you have? That costs power and cycles. And the cookies have been piling up since the 90s.

Speaking of storage, it's now much more common to use localStorage. Now anyone with a website on the internet can store appreciable amounts of stuff on your computer if you visit their website. And they can read and write that storage as much as they want while you're on their site, without regard for your computer's performance.

And all of this is just considered normal and regular. This isn't even getting towards abusive behaviour like running a crypto miner in a browser or something. This is just web applications continually expanding their resource entitlements.

The web is a great honking tire fire. Many articles and books have been written about this, many of them are summarily dismissed by web developers as ivory tower nonsense. But the trajectory of system requirements for displaying mainly-text documents is growing at an unsustainable pace, and there is eventually going to be some kind of reckoning.

I have a $3000 1 year old laptop, and sometimes slack gets so slow I have to kill the browser process and start over again. The issue is not hardware.
Firefox uses some of the chromium code/libraries for the sandboxing on Windows.

So yes, very much a system architecture with no locking or sharing.
If somebodies primary language is JS I think node is a great choice. 9/10 times node performance will be just fine for what people are doing. Writing real multithreaded code without a GIL is hard. I would think just scaling horizontal or vertical would be easier.

And doing threading in Python is so confusing for new beginners. There are about a million different ways to do it.

Just for fun, imagine an alternate reality where nobody cracked the problem of an effective automated indexing algorithm. Hand-curated directories emerge, some structured by taxonomic categorization, others using keyword tagging, still others reliant on user-based rankings. The most successful grow in popularity and consolidate, becoming highly lucrative properties with recognizable brand names. As they grow to gargantuan size, research in the field explodes and innovators race to come up with improved methods to connect people to content they seek. Sergey Dewey and Larry Linnaeus make a breakthrough they call SageRank. Instead of computer code, it leverages "social algorithms" and game theory to incentivize participant behavior. Vladmir Bezos sinks billions into a clandestine effort to game the system. Once the story breaks, public backlash rallies into a worldwide, anti-"fake links" campaign. In one little corner of the internet, some schmuck says, "Imagine an alternate reality where two nerds came up with an impartial computer program to crawl the whole web..."
> There's no evidence that our brain is any different from an automatic door – or more specifically, from an enormous collection of automatic doors.

"specifically" is key here. People want to differentiate between one tree and whole forest. Maybe you don't, but there is a reason why those two words exist. The same is with one door and enormous collection of doors acting as a whole big brain. The same is with intelligence of automatic doors and of humans. They live on continuum like light and dark, but we still have words for light and dark.
Throwaway for reasons.

I have >10 apps for external clients currently in the App Store that are exactly like Hey (not email clients though), focussed on business+consumer clients, with a login and you have to order outside the store to be able to login. We even reference to that in some of the apps. You can't do anything in the app until you pay for a subscription on the repspective site. The most recent one got approved 2 months ago, and some apps are >2 years old and have received regular updates.

The difference may be that they do not have the revenue Basecamp has.

In the past when an app got refused, we resubmitted without changes and got approved. It's a shitshow.
> The most effective way to prevent people from looking into something is to poison the well. Attach the thing to something else obviously false, bonus points if evokes a negative emotional response.

But then what is the end goal of all this? Anti-US propaganda?
Can you use FCM for non-Play-Store apps? I was under the impression you couldn't from the grand-grand-parent.
Isn't that exactly the problem here though? A big business like, say netflix has enough clout to get what they want.

A smaller business or an individual has no option but to get screwed by apple because they have no power.

Shouldn't we be fighting for a level playing field?
He was a famously cool customer.

>Two men were about to land on the moon, and Mission Control in Houston was thrumming with tension. In the science-operations room, Gerald Schaber, a geologist, needed something to do while he waited for the lunar module to touch down. Schaber had come from northern Arizona, where engineers had warped the desert with dynamite to make a cratered landscape where the astronauts could train. His job didn’t start until Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped out of the lunar module and began to explore the slate-colored surface. And the wait was getting to him.

>“Our hearts were beating [fast], of course, everybody’s was,” Schaber told me recently. “So I figured I might as well watch theirs.”

>Schaber switched his monitor to the channel displaying biomedical data for the astronauts. Armstrong seemed calmer than some of the folks in Mission Control. The commander’s heart was ticking along at 75 beats per minute, a remarkable rate for someone who was about to, you know, land on the moon. An adult’s normal resting heart rate is between 60 to 100 beats per minute. My heart rate right now, writing this story, is 75, according to a fitness tracker.

This is in constant tension with the point that GP is making though.

If you’re not _very_ careful with your software architecture, you can inextricably tie your frontend and backend applications together. Depending on the size of your product, or why the growth plans are for that particular frontend/backend app end up being, this might not be a problem.

If it becomes one, though, then every bad technical design decision made in that `common` set of modules or packages ends up hurting you as it gets unspooled from (at least) two components that likely have very different architectural idioms.
For your analogy to hold, we should be able to run a PWA in the same sandbox as iOS apps with the same access to hardware as a native iOS app.

Why doesn’t iOS Safari have these capabilities? Why can’t we download apps and sideload them in the same type of sandbox that App Store sourced apps do?

There’s already an interoperability exemption for jailbreaking. I hope that this precedent is reinforced and expanded through lawsuits and legislation if Apple won’t implement first-party sideloading support willingly.

It’s a matter of equal access to technology and accessibility of tools. To own a thing is to be able to adapt it and make it work the way you need, as well as the way you want. The first sale doctrine applies to software too. Clickwrap EULAs are not always legally binding, and you cannot arbitrate away certain unalienable rights. If I own a thing, I can modify or disassemble it, as well as sell it or otherwise transfer it. These concepts need to be enforced more specifically for digital assets such as apps and mobile operating systems.
> technology allows us to overcome all our non-human enemies

Like hurricanes and COVID.
The WMD claim had plenty of holes poked through it even at the time. There were constant stories making it clear the inspectors in Iraq were not finding anything, and whistle blowers like Valerie Plame who directly contradicted the White House claims. Today, less than twenty years later, it's no longer a question that there weren't any WMDs. The fraud Armstrong is pointing out isn't really comparable.
Ha. I thought about linking that one. Always a classic.
I'd imagine Buzz would be pretty mad if he found out you were mistaking Neil for him, given that Buzz has lived most of his life in Neil's shadow.

As for me, I credit them both equally for being the first men on the moon. They both landed at the same moment. Whether the bootheel or the landing gear hit is not relevant.
Yep. Those were precious resting days and I took full advantage of them. Perhaps the lesson was death is nothing to be feared if life is 24/7 intensive meditation retreats.
It already is a web app that you can use of safari on iOS without problems. But native apps provide a lot of benefits like push notifications, offline data storage and support, home screen icon, etc, especially for a mail app.

Like flat earth and anti-vax? To me, it seems more obvious that that's the effect of attention and manipulation in media, both "classic" and social.

A suspicious attitude institutions has always existed: from the government down to the grocer, who pushes the scales down while weighing. The more the attention is drawn towards it, the greater the suspicion gets, and I feel that especially divisive attention feeds suspicion. When behavior of an institution, such as the Trump administration, is not beyond reproach, it feeds the attention cycle.
This critical thinking critique is pretty tautological. In effect we are saying "these people with wrong ideas, the problem is they are not good at getting ideas right".

But that isn't useful/actionable knowledge. WHY are they bad at getting ideas right? Is it innate to the average human biology? Is it something that has gotten worse as more people have gotten onto the internet where they are exposed to non-curated data more?

Whatever causes this we need to fight it.

I've always been confused that nvidia pushes cuda and ML but shuns linux like it is a leper. I get that gaming is M$ based, but cuda and ML is often done on linux machines.

I can just hope that with AMD's competition that nvidia makes some things easier for us practitioners. I just want stable and relatively up to date drivers.

Wasn't the wmd not a fraud? It was just overselling a truth. IIRC the claim was that Saddam Hussein had ceased reporting the location of stockpiles of nuclear material that the UN used to keep track of. The sin of the bush administration was that they sold it to the public that this was a national security threat even though they knew it was very lightly enriched and counted on the public not knowing or caring (remember the Chapelle skit about yellowcake). The yellow cake was subsequently located in exactly the location where the un thought it was (Hussein hadn't bothered moving it) and it was likely that he was refusing to let UN inspectors in a misguided attempt to bluff the US into not invading due to deterrence?
To what extent is this about Apple and not also about Google who is the other party of the deal? In that case the market is unquestionably the whole smartphone market.

- The speed of Node.js

It unfortunately does not state why it shouldn't be used in the server, or offer any more suitable alternatives.

> The only reason for a well paid developer to prefer linux that you don't need any of the extra stuff (a decent desktop experience, [...list of several more "linux sucks" opinions])

I think you'll find many Linux devs who have previously used or considered Windows have their own list of "windows sucks" reasons.

(By "Well paid", are you referring to people who are willing to spend money on big ticket desktop sw, or people who are in it for the money and don't have the curiosity or interest about how the system works? I think for most it's not about not being able to afford the SW.)
So much this. There is tremendous value in longevity. Writing content which is guaranteed to be unusable in a few years is anathema to me.

On my website I have pages which date back to 1993-94. Still readable just fine. I used to post those links to mailing lists back then and they still get regular hits from people in that community because I've also maintained the URLs constant.
