Really, this all boils down to the age-old question of "buy versus build".

The only way to completely control every aspect of your computing ecosystem is to build your own. Open source offers a convenient starting point but there is still a lot of work to be done to produce and maintain a fully comparable, equally integrated ecosystem.

In other words, cost and compatibility are the typical sticking points to rolling your own. Do the benefits justify the expense? This is the ultimate value judgment to be answered. If nothing less than full control is acceptable, the answer should be obvious.
I'm surprised people are still using PuTTY this much. It used to be one of the first programs I'd install on any new Windows machine and has served me well for many years. But since I started using WSL I haven't needed it once.
"... especially in the US where people's lives are destroyed and horrible politicians get into office due to supposed authorities calling people names on the internet."

For someone railing against unsupported assertions, that's a whopper. We can stipulate horrible people have gotten into office and that people are calling other people names on the internet, but the arrow of causation is not at all clear.

Addressing your point more directly: I don't think the problem is people making insufficiently footnoted comments so much as readers accepting things that align with their predjudices uncritically. As such, I don't see what is gained by attacking someone for commenting in a casual style.
Some people truly have no heart.
I wrote a tool for myself that will just open up your default editor and create a new markdown file for every note you want to take, saving them in a git repo that you can sync to some remote. Has the simplicity of a directory full of markdown files, but also provided a system to tag the different notes, search for a particular note to view or modify, and view a subset of them in an HTML document. All of that can be done with different command line tools of course but it is nice to have it all bundled into a single program.
> a simple yet functional subset of web

a body with sequence of <img>, displayed vertically. you can look at imgur and see such format has been used for simple messages, blogs, collections of memes, recipes, news, informational content, engineering content, fitness advice etc etc.

no css, no nothing, the user agent takes care of formatting them according to the display device etc.

I can't think anything more flexible, simpler and yet capable of doing 90% of what the static web can do today. you can even have a comments section, just add <img> to the bottom and alt the commenting user&Timestamp.
But then you get tools which generate HTML which circumvents that (e.g. a giant table with 1x1 pixel cells, each cell with its own color).
Browsers could have a setting to optionally display the content anyway, along with a warning to the effect of "site X is trying to show an archive of site Y", similar to how we currently handle expired or self-signed SSL certificates.

Dark mode to me is an accessibility feature. I've got dark floaters in my eyes. They contrast against light backgrounds making it difficult to read. The fact that they float around doesn't help. To make matters worse I have high photo sensitivity. Dark mode fixes those problems so well that I can forget that the problem even exists. I use a browser extension to help with websites and I will often choose programs based on whether they've got a dark mode or not.
No idea why you were downvoted; it seems like a reasonable idea to me. (Also, IMHO downvoting a good-faith comment like yours is a lazy alternative to posting a substantive response.)
I agree with you but most people really are not doing #1 or #2 most of the time... Your own experience as my example.

It's a classic "why we can't have nice things" problem.
Search can not be avoided. The alternative to search is to go through everything that has been read which is not feasible. Tagging is the only solution. The user has to remember the tags which is referred to as context in zettlekeaten method. I could not see any workaround to this problem

I’m sorry maybe I’m missing the forest for the trees here, did you answer the question of when black Americans will be responsible for themselves? I am all for reparations to be clear, I think the impact of slavery has put them at a severe disadvantage (perhaps stifling their ability to ever climb out of socioeconomic situations) but to fully support the idea I need to know what the plan is. At what point is everyone’s potential considered equal? If the answer is “never” then obviously reparations is not a valid solution and could even be considered harmful (if we look at “potential” as “acceleration” then at some point increasing that value will cause the “velocity” to become so great that we end up right back where we started with some demographic far beyond the rest)
Is the terminal emulation fixed? Every time I tried to use WSL, some kind of glitch shows up when I am SSH’d into a server.
The leak allows an attacker to distinguish first connections that are made without a cached host key, allowing them to target those connections only and reduce their risk of detection.

OpenSSH seems affected, too, but have decided to not fix this. As far as I understand the paper, any fix may have undesirable side effects.

The linked paper here https://www.fzi.de/en/news/news/detail-en/artikel/fsa-2020-2... goes into detail. The PDF is in English, despite the German URL.

Calling something out for being offensive here means that I'd like see other opinions. At the very least, I thought it was.

I didn't call to action against this request. I didn't send them a request to take it down, no authorities involved, nothing serious really.

I just found it offensive, and thought it would be interesting for others to see, my expectation was to see interesting takes on the subject.

Not everyone you see on the internet who says they are offended is part of the so-called "cancel culture". I'm surely not. I'd suggest everyone to relax.

The problem is that Beijing has a strange definition of what is National Security. It include suggestions (even if constructive and well-meaning), and also journalism (when the facts do not paint a pretty picture). Where other jurisdiction only proceed to prosecution when there are material action and consequences, China is content to prosecute just on the feeling of being criticised or threatened or citizens just behaving rebelliously -- within the first day HK is already arresting citizens for having banners in their bag and for shouting slogans.
Regarding #2, you are supposed.to move out of the way before you pull up your phone to check for direction. That sounds reasonable to me.
Yeah AMP is one of many reasons I switched to DuckDuckGo. “Why am I giving Google this much power? Why am I contributing to them being a monopoly?” were the general reasons.

Hearing people mention low quality search results was what kept me off, but I’ve actually only needed to do a google search about once a week, far less than I was expecting.

Do you have the tool somewhere to share?

I was looking into writing a simple tool, preferably a bash script I can use cross-platform, which creates a new markdown file with named with today’s date and opens it with $EDITOR.

Here's the fallacy: people think if they collect ALL the data, they will have the best results with whatever problem they're trying to solve.

Right now you're probably wondering, yeah, but there's this one problem that wouldn't have been solved if x or y....

But really it's just hoarding behavior. They're trying to collect it all. Statistical significance is reached very quickly and after that point they're doing harm to society.
I agree with you and send kudos your way for raising the conversation. I have no skin in the game really, and earlier comment is just my side of the coin, love to see others as well. And I echo the idea of everyone to relax. Just because someone is flagging something as potentially offensive doesn't mean they want it removed from the surface of the earth. Plenty of things are offensive but should still be visible/readable.
I had an internship at an IBM reseller and consultancy couple years back. When we were at a client’s after finishing a project, they showed me their basement full of decommissioned computers and they let me take one home for free. I picked an SGI Indigo2, purple version, running IRIX. I had no idea what to do with it, so I played around for a couple of months and then made the mistake of throwing it away. (That still bugs me). I still love the interface and the way things were organized in the system, the file manager in particular. It ran nedit as editor and I used that on Linux for a couple of years going on. Nostalgia...

edit: Remembering, I got the machine with original SGI keyboard, mouse and screen.
Can someone please explain what are the main hypothetical advantages of this desktop environment? Even the article itself does a poor job of explaining this, it seems to assume that the reader already knows what IRIX/whatever is, and why did (do?) people use it over other environments?
Ask HN: What video podcasts do you follow?

I honestly don't think it should be denied. I thought they would deny it. There's a misunderstanding here.

> They literally discouraged people to use a potentially beneficial treatment just because Trump endorsed it. It's insane.

Wrong. They literally discouraged people to use an entirely unverified and unproven treatment because a politician elected on a blatantly anti-intellectual platform decided to make totally unsubstantiated and dangerous claims regarding its alleged effectiveness.

We're talking about the same politician who also suggested injecting disinfectant as an equally viable treatment.

When I open TikTok, that is not what I see at all. It's funny videos, sketches, memes that are all pretty relevant to where I live and around current affairs.

That said I don't use TikTok (or Instagram, FB etc) so maybe it's more like you're saying.

Send an email of course. In particular for remote work, it should suggest your ability to communicate remotely. If the process is vague or ambiguous, demonstrate that you're able to come up with something that works for the recipient without a lot of detailed direction.

I think it depends on your location really. In some places, and in the right environment, you can be a proclaimed communist and have a normal conversation with someone who is a proclaimed nazi. It's usually tough and with some heated arguments, but it is indeed possible.

I am mostly with you. It should be a subset of http. And the content should be a subset of html/css/js --- but the schema ought to have a different prefix. So if I navigate to acc://example.com, Mom-and-Pop browser would perform the same steps that Big Browser would take to fetch http://example.com

This allows hyperlinking to the accessible version of a page, and using different default browsers for the different protocols, so that I (as someone who wants to use Mom-and-Pop browser) can easily fall back to Big Browser when necessary to view a page that won't render over accs://
At least around here rice is typically cooked in a covered vessel so the effect of evaporation should be fairly minor.
The proposition of Gemini is that it creates a separate, deliberately incompatible, ringfenced part of the internet that is self-sufficient; not operating as a subset of a larger whole but as something sovereign and self-contained. This fosters a community spirit and allows one to remain 'within the fence' in a way that would be very hard to do if inhabiting simply a subset of the existing web.
Seems like it was only in force for a day, and carried no penalties. Also seems like it was aimed at people who are looking at their smartphones primarily (i.e. playing Pokémon GO).

I don't think they were looking to cure the menace of 歩きスマホ in the stroke of a pen, but rather wanted awareness of the issues of being engaged primarily with your phone rather than your environment.

https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASN71728GN71ULOB004.html#:~:t...

The language chosen for defining 歩きスマホ (“walking smartphone”) uses the word https://jisho.org/word/注視 in its definition, not sure if this is just formal language, or there is some important distinction between 注視 and 見て here.

Nonetheless, here is the draft:

Ask HN: What would you miss the most without a smartphone?
I have never had a smartphone and the more time passes the more I realize how much better my life is without one. I believe there is very few things that you can not do without a smartphone. (I have a small tablet that I carry with me very often but since I need to connect a the wifi to use it I do not consider it to be exactly like a smartphone).

Basically the main reactions when people learn that I do not own a smart is :
- how do you do without google map ? (hint : I draw a map beforehand)
- what! you don't have Whatsapp (No I use SMS and I do not get group notifications every 5 minutes)
I have several dozen accounts on different websites and every time I check, I'm always in the clear.

I can't imagine any really defensible way to measure this quantitatively.

Research outcomes are almost impossible to measure in the first place (see debates about citation metrics).

Qualitative research would be somewhat useful, but there's issues with that approach too.
I'm using PuTTY because I prefer native software. That said, it seems that Microsoft started shipping its own build of OpenSSH with Windows 10, so probably that's not needed anymore.
Perhaps downvoting should require more effort, like solving a captcha.
> AMP is "faster" because it gets rid of all the nagware and JS crap that the original page has.

AMP is faster only for poorly-optimized JS-heavy pages but the design is fundamentally flawed to require all of its own large amount of JavaScript to run before anything displays, whereas most of the traditional bloat doesn’t block rendering. That means any optimized page - Washington Post, NYT, etc. – loads noticeably faster even before you factor in how often you need to wait for AMP to load, realize that some part of the content is missing, and then wait for the real page to load anyway.

That design forces it to be less reliable, too: before I stopped using Google on mobile to avoid AMP, I would see on a near-daily basis failed page loads due to the AMP JS failing in some way and when it wasn’t failing it was still notably slow (5+ seconds or worse on LTE). Since all of that JavaScript is forced into the critical path, anything less than unrealistically high cache rates means the experience is worse than a normal web page.

WPT examples:

It's not. Default wsl terminal is pretty much unusable if you need anything more complex than entering commands (read vim and tmux). You can install MinTTY terminal for wsl, but it's much more hassle then just download putty.

I read your comment the first time as "Hey, I saw this, this is what I thought about it, how does others feel?", wanting to open up a conversation without any predefined conclusion of "this is absolutely fine" or "this should be banned".

But nuance is famously hard on the internet, and many tend to extrapolate what they think you mean. Generally, more users of HN would do HN an service overall by trying to follow the "Have curious conversation" guideline more, but again, hard when you want to prove someone wrong.
