Ask HN: What are the tools to make a quick WebApp MVP?
I have been tasked with making a simple webapp with following requirements.

1. Login system ( multiple users )
2. Simple image upload with some related data.
3. Some tables to show uploaded data with images.
4. Some business logic on top of uploaded data.

I have been out of touch from webapp development for the past 3 years. What are the easy to learn tools to quickly build this MVP in a weeks time. I have good knowledge of JS/TS, Java, C#, Jquery and React.

Is there a good pluggable framework that comes with all these basic things so that I can quickly build up something ?

I was thinking of using React + Bootstrap for frontend, some node.js framework for backend ( probably will use passport.js for auth )

Same here! This is why I use a simplified Getting Things Done system, but at the beginning of the day translate it into a "to do" list for the day on paper. It lets me focus on one piece of paper through the day instead of getting overwhelmed with the GTD system.
Thanks for the recommendation. I paid for BTT, and find it very unstable. More often than not the custom snap windows function just doesn't work. That's the only reason I bought it.

I used to be able to restart BTT and snapping would work again, but that is no longer effective in the latest version. I guess the fact that it even has a "restart" option in its drop-down menu should have been a hint.
Meta: It is probably too late to edit the title now but in future soon after you submit you can edit the title and the change will be accepted. Probably for historical reasons, of which I'm unaware, the leading 'Inside' is automatically removed on the initial submission. Also, it is unnecessary to include the domain in the title.
Capital isn't going to let the US or Europe against China until it is entirely unavoidable (e.g. China invades say, Japan or Korea).
The PRC controls 99% of China (that's about the ratio between the PRC and Taiwan). There was not really a choice there.

As a European I don't really see what there is to resolve. I can just hope that things stay peaceful.

> Introduce a digital ID and instantly it’ll become a requirement to give your digital ID to do anything at all - register a mobile phone, a bank account, an online shop, a library, a pub ... anything

Sighs.

4/5 of these examples already require proof of identity in various circumstances.

The required identification often comes in the form of either one or a combination of a recent utility bill + driver's license and/or passport.

This can make moving house (as an example) a massive PITA -- now I need 3 documents instead of one.

On data storage / privacy.

Pubs/bars/clubs have already trialled schemes where the provided Photo ID is stored for a certain amount of time. (I believe fabric had to do this under the terms of their new license). I've not heard of any breaches yet...?

I doubt a digital ID would be very useful in pubs as it can't be linked back to a biometric feature (your pretty face).

Online shops... Meh. Does it really matter if Tesco's knows that I prefer low fat mince to high fat?

Banks, well.... There's not much hope there. They'll use it and the game will change. C'est la vie. I'll either adapt so I can get a mortgage or I'll continue renting.

Edit: on a even deeper level, the reality is that nothing changes. Everyone has some form of UID for me (usually emails). Now it just becomes a standardised identifier across the board.

What? What could the US have done beyond what we did other than all out war? The US response to this was very harsh.

We undid 50 years of diplomacy with China, and have started building a sortof SEA equivalent to NATO.

Chinese/American relations have probably never been as unfriendly as they are right now, and Hong Kong is a major part of that. Seriously I don’t know what the next step would be that wasn’t a de facto, weapons-hot war.

I'm pretty sure lots of BLM supporters condemned Xavier Johnson... It's true that some activists tolerate and accept violence within their cause but that is not universally held, and while issues with police violence do complicate things, I agree with you that violent acts deserve condemnation.

The key problem you highlight with my analogy is not quite correct (although most if not all analogies have some flaws). There are various attempts at organisation and leadership in the Church, but there are also thousands of splits, sub-groups and even violence that has not always been universally condemned (such as in Northern Ireland where I'm from), as well as sanctioned in the Crusades.

An organisation that can have condemned violence while having encouraged crusades, and have members like the IRA does certainly seem like the kind of varied decentralised (or at least multi-centred) organisation that can have internally conflicting beliefs yet frequently be considered as a single entity externally. That was more my point. If you think BLM isn't a broad church, my guess is you don't know that many BLM supporters? My experience has been that a wide range of people support BLM, and most of them do not support murderous rampages, even if they can comprehend why the anger that manifested might have existed in the first place.

My experience in Northern Ireland also makes me extremely cautious about the mistake of retaliatory violence, but anyway. I'm still unconvinced that you could call BLM a singular organisations with all actions done by association attributable directly to it.
18 is great.

This concept itself, is not new. I'd love to see US cities with notorious transit systems (i.e New York City) implement this.

In Toronto, Canada, where I live, allow all children 12 years of age and under to ride the TTC (our transit system here) for free.

This is great, because it enables students to enroll in public (elementary or middle) schools that they normally shouldn't be able to get into (if they win the lottery, or if they apply well in advance and somehow do get in), and gives opportunities to students that they normally wouldn't have access to.

Reading up about glibc's nsswitch would also help.

The problem with RFC 1034 section 5.3.1 ideas is, that it is insufficient if you have more than 1 interface and DNS resolvers available over them might provide different answers for some zones (example: you have a VPN connection and the DNS resolver on the other side of the link has ACLs for the zones it is handling, providing you with answers that the public DNS won't provide); that's why networkmanger+dnsmasq/systemd-resolved/whatever are used.

Linux is not the only system that has to handle /etc/resolv.conf being inadequte; but it is funny that we see articles like this only for Linux. I have yet to see an article "How to take back control of /etc/resolv.conf on MacOS".

It's my understanding that Taiwan is a nuclear threshold state and has pretty much everything in place to build nuclear weapons in a very short time. Similar to Japan and Germany.
Giving software away for free isn't a business model, was never meant to be, and the math just doesn't work. There are some very small niche projects where a few small core developers make a living doing contract development implementing features and fixing bugs, but it typically doesn't scale into a company.

Most successful "open source" companies use an open core model, where they provide services and proprietary add-ons related to an open source project that they contribute to but may not actually own. Think GitHub or Docker.

I was able to process my Gmail with a simple python script that accessed email via SMTP (using smtplib, I think it was) a long time ago, it can't be too hard.

At the time I was only experimenting with it for an idea I never fully realized, creating a system for video games to automatically play games asynchronously using email instead of a server (also you could see it was your turn again just by email notifications), thus being able to survive in perpetuity as long as SMTP remained a thing, but I could see using it to do what you're suggesting as well.

In order to do that, you'd need a change on the website's server to load and embed a Google ad into the web bundle. But if you could do that, you could just make a change on the website's server to render a Google ad into a normal web page - it's a less complicated change, and it can be done right now without adding a new feature to every browser.

I also don't really follow the attack that Google is supposedly trying to protect itself from. Is it trying to track whether websites that have signed up for Google ads are actually serving those ads to users? (Why would they care about that? If ads aren't being served, websites aren't making money.) Is it trying to track whether ads are showing up on users' screens and not being blocked by an ad-blocker? (Then it doesn't make a difference if Google views a signed web bundle or injects a script to monitor the page, and again, they're already injecting a script.) If a Google script is blocked, isn't the answer to track it as "zero" - i.e., what's the problem with (potentially) more ads being shown than Google knows about?

Yeah, this actually looks pretty cool, it's a nice way to abstract a common pattern which is otherwise quite tedious, namely, that of spawning a bunch of tasks and have them feed each other work via asyncio queues.

I feel like many iterations of coordinating events has been tried as evidenced by different comments discussing previous solutions that have been built by someone else or by themselves.

Why has this idea failed previously? How will your iteration be different?

I'm not naturally a social person but I did go through a phase where I was more social and ended up organizing events. I never thought using texts, whatsapp, etc. to be much of a hassle. I'm also close to a couple of friends that are very social and I've seen them plan and coordinate events. It's never seemed like a hassle and they've never mentioned it as a problem.

Solving your own problem is good advice, but the pitfall is that your own problem may not be one that is shared by many people. I've had to learn this lesson as well. I would run some of my early app ideas by my friends and their response would basically be, "why would I want to do that?" I'm not saying this idea will not work, but definitely talk to the people you're messaging and find out what they think.

Best of luck.
That depends on what you consider fine. Modern decelopment is so much more productive, no way I could go back to the jquery days.

It's a list of macOS-only (with one exception) apps that I use with a bias towards lesser-known things. I use 1Password but it's not fully macOS-only and is widely known.

Having a power meter is how I find out when stuff is tanking my battery life, and like I said I use the weather widget a lot. I use Hex Fiend more than lots of other apps since I like implementing binary formats and doing CTF reverse-engineering contests.

If you want them to have broken DNS, then they are fine. If you want them to have working DNS, then not, regular static file is not fine.
I think the dissonance over the US not doing enough is that if the US pulled these moves a decade or two ago, China would have blinked. China not blinking doesn't mean the US isn't doing enough. It means we're living in a world where China doesn't blink anymore. America's absolute influence might still be the same, but its relative influence has fallen.

The strongest effect I had was from a liquid dose, and for a minute or two I had what I would characterize as a white out. Everything in my field of vision turned white and I couldn't move very well.

My largest gripe with REST is that it's a very lock-in technology. Once we evolve past REST instead of being able to decouple cleanly from the underlying protocol, we're pretty much trapped in status codes and methods that lock us in. At least with GraphQL there's a clean break. Everything should have been focused on the payloads, not the transport layer.

Experience with Tcl/Tk for Scientific and Engineering Visualization (1995)
Some views suggest that the political structure of the United States is in many respects an oligarchy, where a small economic elite overwhelmingly determines policy and law. Some academic researchers suggest a drift toward oligarchy has been occurring by way of the influence of corporations, wealthy, and other special interest groups, leaving individual citizens with less impact than economic elites and organized interest groups in the political process.

A study by political scientists Martin Gilens (Princeton University) and Benjamin Page (Northwestern University) released in April 2014 suggested that when the preferences of a majority of citizens conflicts with elites, elites tend to prevail. While not characterizing the United States as an "oligarchy" or "plutocracy" outright, Gilens and Page do give weight to the idea of a "civil oligarchy" as used by Jeffrey A. Winters, saying, "Winters has posited a comparative theory of 'Oligarchy,' in which the wealthiest citizens – even in a 'civil oligarchy' like the United States – dominate policy concerning crucial issues of wealth- and income-protection."

In their study, Gilens and Page reached these conclusions:

When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites and/or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the US political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it. ... The preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.
— Martin Gilens and Benjamin I. Page, 2014

E.J. Dionne Jr. described what he considers the effects of ideological and oligarchical interests on the judiciary. The journalist, columnist, and scholar interprets recent Supreme Court decisions as ones that allow wealthy elites to use economic power to influence political outcomes in their favor. "Thus," Dionne wrote, in speaking about the Supreme Court's McCutcheon et al. v. FEC and Citizens United v. FEC decisions, "has this court conferred on wealthy people the right to give vast sums of money to politicians while undercutting the rights of millions of citizens to cast a ballot."

Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman wrote:

The stark reality is that we have a society in which money is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few people. This threatens to make us a democracy in name only.

I would say, again, that the answer is complex and multifaceted. It is not exactly clear whether authoritarianism or democracy is better. One thing is clear though... both are far from perfect.

Reading this reminded me of part of Bret Victor's 2006 "Magic Inc" [1]. The utopia Victor envisions is somewhat related to this post, but taken further and extended to all kinds of data - not just notes.

The idea is fairly fundamental - ultimately, each application should know about whatever is relevant in their context, especially if other applications already know it (Victor goes into applications making smart guesses through ML methods or sensor data as well, but a big part of it is having access to data from other apps).

Of course, if you actually want to get all your apps to talk to eachother without causing a babylonian mess and/or compromising privacy completely, things get extremely tricky. But I do feel like OSes could develop further in this regard, at least for fairly standard data like events, notes, etc.

Sorry, you think the (colonial) British spread the usage of the term 'Swastika' to defame Hindu culture? You are aware that the Nazis started using the swastika as part of their occultist ideology after 150 years of British colonialism in the Indian subcontinent?

Just take the L for misusing an American idiom. There's nothing wrong with not knowing the precise meaning of particular idioms in a language that is not your own. 'Drinking the Kool-Aid' is not relevant to our cultural context and using it incorrectly is hardly relevant to the content of your article. Trying to draw spurious comparisons with foreign interpretations of Sanskrit words is not really relevant.
The criticism the original post has of WebBundles is fundamentally technical. All of their privacy and anti-adblocker claims stem from the idea that the bundles have special URL randomization powers that the current one-resource-per-request model can't replicate.

If that technical basis is incorrect, the whole thing just collapses. There's nothing left. Not allowing disproving the technical basis of these kinds of posts would mean that we have to just accept conspiracy theories at face value. That does not seem like a healthy outcome.

(Or to put it another way: you wanted to discuss "how this technology will be used". But how can we possibly have that discussion without agreeing on "what the techology can do" first?)

This feels like such a weird stance. I can’t imagine someone saying something to the effect of “I don’t want my DNS records just circulating without my control.” This isn’t like AP giving CNN republishing rights, this is getting a magazine from the stand at the convenience store rather than having going to the Condé Nast corporate HQ.

Like it’s your site, exactly as it would be if it was delivered by your server just delivered by someone who already had a copy on hand rather than fetching a new one every time. This is what HTTP proxies used to do, what DNS caches and browsers still do. TLS broke web caches because TLS secured the connection instead of the content.
