I wish the Safari content blocking API allowed cookies to be blocked. I'd block cookies for 99% of sites I visit, allowing them only for the handful of sites to which I login.

I'd suggest Safari could even make cookies require getting user permission, the same way location access needs to be granted. "Allow, allow for 24 hours, deny." It could default deny except for sites to which it has a saved password which could default allow.
Nicklaus Wirth cared about not wasting machine resources.

He also wrote “a plea for lean software”:

> “Abstract: Software's girth has surpassed its functionality, largely because hardware advances make this possible. The way to streamline software lies in disciplined methodologies and a return to the essentials. The paper discusses some causes of "fat software" and considers the Oberon system whose primary goal was to show that software can be developed with a fraction of the memory capacity and processor power usually required, without sacrificing flexibility, functionality, or user convenience.”

Google and Apple have massively dropped the ball with their app stores, especially Google. They're straight-up malware distributors, plain and simple. They need to reign in this crap to achieve even a modicum of respectability.
Hey HN! I had the week off for the 4th of July holiday but canceled my vacation plans due to COVID, so I figured I'd do one of those "7 days of code" things where I do 7 different projects in the week. I wanted to create some things I would use and keep my programming skills sharp since I do data analytics rather than software engineering as my day job.

This was supposed to be Day 2, but ended up taking me about 3-4 days to get to the current state.

The problem I wanted to solve is that basically, I am addicted to Twitter. I get my news from Twitter, so I'm constantly pulling it up and scrolling through it throughout the day. But there's a lot of noise on Twitter--a ton of low quality content, mean-spirited comments, and so on. I wanted a way to stay on top of the news that met the following criteria:

1. One place to see new articles/posts from a bunch of different sources. I didn't want to have to pull up each news site individually.

2. No comments or noise--just the latest headlines.

3. Customizable - I can add new sources I come across, group them in different ways by subject.

4. Public - If someone else added some interesting news sites, it would be cool to see that and find something new to follow myself.

5. No authentication - Handling passwords and user state is a pain. Just let everyone see everything!

So I made "PaperPup" (the name came from the idea of your dog fetching you the morning paper). While there are other RSS aggregators out there, a lot of them feel clunky to me and don't necessarily have the public aspect I wanted. In technical terms, it's a Rails API backend with a "kind-of-vanilla" HTML/CSS/JQuery single-page front-end. As I mentioned I'm not really a software engineer, so this is nothing fancy; I wanted to make sure my skills on some of the basics were still up-to-date rather than experimenting with whatever the hot new languages/frameworks are these days.

Anyway, I hope you all like it! If you have any suggestions or questions (technical, feature-wise, or other apps to use), I'd love to hear them.
This is a great idea. Implemented as a browser plug-in that transforms the AsciiDoc the user would control the document, instead of the server/host. Users could set their own fonts and styles, change accessibility, restructure the content, hide blocks/quotes, overlay other data or links, etc...

Changing who controls the content is a feature the web doesn't offer, except to technical people who can F12 to edit.
What is the basis for that hypothesis?
This is scary. The Chinese have literally come at the doorstep and now inside.
I'd say it isn't complexity, but resources. New data needs highly specialized equipment and materials. Even then the accuracy and precision may be lacking.

If we could manipulate the microscopic with the ease of the macroscopic we'd be making many more discoveries.

> The only version control solution was SVN at the time

Pre SVN there was CVS, and before that was RCS. Now these didn't work the way we think about git today, but they did allow you to roll back to a known good state with some futzing about.
I do not, other than it's based on GraalVM native image. I just know of its existence. I believe this is how gluon is pushing crossplatform for iOS since apple doesn't like the JVM JIT.
Not from first hand experience but @dvassallo on twitter says how his audience is very organic, people unfollow and follow (equivalent of unsubscribe / subscribe I guess) all the time depending on the message he is sending and that's OK.

If you have an user base that stops liking your content then maybe other users will start liking it and subscribe?

Full disclosure I don't have much SEO experience and dislike the culture of selling people data and/or email addresses and/or optimizing for gathering more people.

I feel that if your content is good and you're happy posting new updates it will either attract people or not and attracting people shouldn't be the end goal you optimize for but rather good content.
In the second episode the show, one of the copy writers literally states that all the firm's value is in its ad-placement team (radio, print, billboards, soon television), and the copy is just thrown in as gift-wrapping.
I wished you honored me by not replying. Yes, the comment you wrote that is so broad as to be completely empty of any meaning is true. It's funny how you mention colonialism but all you people saying leave the primitives alone, isn't poverty and a shit life so romantic, not a single one of you mentioned what they want.
Git repo or it doesn't exist ;-)

Not getting your data stolen vs. being able to sue after the fact are two different concerns which are somewhat in conflict.

If you want to be able to sue, then yes go with a hosted solution with a written contract.

But if the priority is to not have your data stolen, handing your data over to a third party is a non-starter.

I don't know of any DSLs, but the stdlib arbitrary precision integer library works just fine at compile time:

Leo’s original plan was to alternate doing professional work vs. working on his personal project. But he also didn’t originally expect to completely rebuild every part of the boat.

I think it’s great that he can now afford to hire another professional shipwright to help, buy whatever tools and materials he needs, take the time to make high-quality videos, etc.

I’ve learned a lot from watching his videos and I’m happy to chip in a few bucks per month (as apparently are many other people).

Probably spend differently. Because both of your points are kind of true: the future is online, but money spent up to now hasn't necessarily got results. Pure wild speculation, but I suspect that some of the metrics that drove advertising AND content onto the big beasts of the current Internet were gamed or fraudulent - it will be interesting to see if any big scandals happen.
>do we point to the millions of other drivers out there and say that driving on roads

Cliffs, lakes, and highways often have guardrails, even if millions of cars drive by without going over the lines.

Vim, IMO, is different because it's not meant for consumption by the general public. Vim is a sysadmin tool, in unix-like environments, where the users have a general amount of competency before even encountering it. The whole rat-experiment analogy is more about stories that are public facing.
Building something on AWS, and then keeping it up-to-date is hard. DeStack analyzes your stack, and gives you the updates that matter to your stack.
> How does this work for clicking on a UI element to paste?

The same way as designating keybindings. Registration with the OS. I don't care if you have to do it by defining hotspot outlines for bespoke-from-raw-pixels interface elements.

> How does this work for using non-tactile forms of input - say, a voice command?

Voice interface is mediated by the OS. Register your desired custom paste command.

> the very real and undebatable need to allow programs to simulate keyboard events?

False. I'm happy to debate it. But before we do, I have to ask you to try to not be stuck in the "how things are done now" mindset.

> What happens to operating systems that have the implementation of a system clipboard as out of scope"

Then they have decided to punt on user safety. Be angry at them and demand better. Also, you're derailing.

> what, exactly, do you think happens when (for example) a C program calls `getchar()`?

What do YOU think happens? You think that your program talks directly to your keyboard buttons? And why do you think that this question is relevant?

> If you consider something a secret, then may I suggest that you don't (both as a user and as a developer) put it in the general shared buffer for applications?

Frankly, I think this is a bullshit user-hostile copout. Treating the clipboard as "general shared buffer between applications" is exactly what caused this madness. The clipboard is an extension of the user, like writing something down on paper so they can then reading it back later, and should be treated as such with sanctity.

Try approaching from the perspective that all of your "what if"s have a safe non-almost-100%-of-the-time-user-hostile solution. Because the freewheeling "steal my secrets" API is almost 100% of the time extremely user hostile and computers are meant for people to use.

Yes, ST works like VSCode in that regard.

It works well with paragraphs and headings because they fit on one line (so 1 line = 1 block), but I'd like to be able to move whole multiline blocks, like lists, code blocks, and paragraphs that have line breaks.

Also, for the empty lines that separate blocks, I need to move them as well (or select them as part of the block).

But yes, the current feature is very close to what I'd like.

The other part of my tweet though (about being able to move between 2 columns or files) is trickier.

This is a bit of an old meme, it reminds me of the PC vs Mac wars back in the pre-Jobs-return era. Or Ford vs Chevy. It's really impressive how strongly companies have convinces us to associate our identities with their brands.
It sounds like that's not what the person to whom you're replying is saying. But your general point, shifted slightly, is correct: right wing is racist. I feel like I examine all sides and "lean right" or am moderate, and used to vote for people like Bush and McCain and Romney, but the right wing has become to polluted with racism and outright greed that I voted for Hillary last election and am spending considerable resources fighting the Republican party outright this election.
Can you answer that question? There are more novels than a person can read in a lifetime.

More crime novels alone than a person can read in a lifetime.

Must be approaching that for any given category or niche soon, if not already.

Are they named “novels” because they are novel? If so a novel experience is a distance from where you currently are, and can plausibly be had backwards in time by reading an old book as well as forwards in time reading a new book, or sideways reading a new genre.

Sourcegraph (https://sourcegraph.com) | Software Engineer, Engineering Manager, Security Engineer, Product Manager | ALL REMOTE

Sourcegraph is building Universal Code Search so developers can focus on solving problems instead of struggling to find and understand code.

Sourcegraph search helps developers find and discover code by providing the ability to quickly search across all code using regular expressions and advanced filters. Sourcegraph code intelligence helps developers navigate and understand code by providing hover tooltips, go-to-definition, and find-references, when viewing code on Sourcegraph or on a code host (via our browser extension). Sourcegraph campaigns enable developers to fix and evolve code at scale by automating search-and-replace and running arbitrary tools across massive codebases.

I've never had a good experience interacting with a chat bot. I find it insulting when a company I'm already giving money to insists I talk to a robot before I get to talk to a human being. Chat bots are just the latest version of listening to a dial in support phone menu and trying to figure out which option you need.

> Its just a terminology to describe behaviour of two components.

It does? I mean, I’ve used a lot of hard drives and never had one whip another or resell it to punish a friend for disobedience. I’ve also never heard of an enslaved person being put in charge after the plantation master died.

Insisting on using inaccurate terms when better ones exist is a political stance which raises questions about the motives behind putting so much effort into opposing something which costs you nothing.
I'm not an expert in this by any means, but part of me wonders if it's partially because demographics that have grown up with video games have started to reach a majority point. I could guess in a blunt way that Gen X'ers, Millenials, and Zoomers have all been exposed to video games in their childhoods. They've all had some exposure to Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, so it might seem like a more safe bet for a movie producer.
My experience with Google Docs makes me want to strangle it. It's slow, unresponsive, uses a ton of memory, and I can't shake the constant nagging weight of surveillance being done against me.

EDIT: Oh, and just this last week, I found it couldn't understand that I wanted to use "set up" as a verb, instead of "setup", the noun. Constant underlining when underlining was neither necessary nor desired. Apparently when I told Docs a month ago to avoid critiquing my grammar (via its Settings), it took my mandate as merely an ephemeral suggestion.

It's a thought exercise presented in socratic style so that someone learns to recognize the problems with the other extreme. Only when you see the dilemmas that exist at both extremes do you start figuring out where the balance it.

When someone is fighting equality with no hedging in their argument, that's usually a sign that they haven't considered what happens if they achieve what they are arguing for.

I'm not arguing that extreme inequality is good. It's bad in the same way extreme equality is bad. Once you recognize both are bad and why they are bad, you're more free to explore where you believe the balance point should be.

My personal view is that the problem isn't that we have a power law distribution (1/x). My view is that a distribution of 100/x is preferable to one of 1/x. The difference in equality from the top to the bottom can be extreme so long as the distribution between the two contains lots of people fairly evenly spread out and there is the possibility for someone to move up and down on that distribution on their own volition and effort. This produces a society that will produce productivity benefits that over time improve the conditions of those worst off.
> The majority of people that are refusing to wear masks are doing so because they believe the science/data supports that decision.

That's beyond absurd. There isn't a single shred of evidence in support of not wearing masks helping the pandemic and quite a lot of evidence to the contrary. Not only that, but common sense says that putting a barrier between your mouth / nose and infectious particles and thereby stopping some of them from entering your body can reduce the chances of one getting sick by lowering the amount of viral particles entering the body. People knew this in 1918. Now we have science to back this up and have had it for over a hundred years. It is complete idiocy to suggest that science doesn't support mask wearing.

"javidx9" is probably exactly what you're looking for. His "Forbidden C++" is a pretty good video. A vague awhile ago he had a pretty cool video explaining how you optimize Mandelbrot rendering that was the most succinct example I've ever seen of optimization.

"moshix" is more of a mainframe sysprog but maybe 20% of the content is 60s era COBOL and similar. A dirty secret of worship of the young in software development is every big problem is an old problem, and there's lots to learn from the ancients and how they handled the EXACT same problems in a slightly different format.

"code maven" not entirely sure this meets the critera, not sure that it doesn't. "skeleton go program" sure, "how to use linkedin to find a job" I donno if that counts?

"Ralph S Bacon" is a bit more embedded/Arduino, but if you like C development and blinking LEDs and what I'm told is british humour...

"Ben Eater" is like Ralphie but more retro (you'll see more 6502 assembly on Ben's channel and more arduino on Ralphies channel)

"The 8-Bit Guy" is like Ben Eater but more systems oriented than writing assembly. The way he hints at stuff I bet he's memorized the 6502 instruction set like anyone else, he just focuses hard on higher level systems issues.

"The Signal Path" is a bit more programming with solder aka analog electronics but he does bravely delve into the digital world on occasion.

Naomi Wu's channel, well, maybe she writes code 5% of the time ... but the IDE cursor is up here guys. I'm not saying it doesn't qualify or that it does qualify. Its, um, unique, that's for sure. Borderline NSFW, depending where you work...

Just because software is eating the world, some cool stuff is tangential but not focused on SE.

"Huygens Optics" is primarily about photons but as software eats the world his CNC controlled lens grinders and python scripts to simulate optical systems becomes tangentially SE.

"Applied Science" is like Huygens-bro where its not officially software development but with software eating the world I get the feeling that dude is pretty handy with an IDE although he doesn't brag about it.

"Sam Zeloof" is the same deal as above, people trying to make home semiconductors spend most of their time on the tools rather than actually making chips, and as above software eats the world so everything seems to revolve around writing a Python script to automate your heterodyne interfereometer and similar challenges.
