Show HN: DynaBlogger – A simple, alternative blogging platform
Not much in the UK (which is where I was) but I usually tipped them anyway, unless they were jerks. In the USA it's much more expected.
Hi HN!

My name is Vito and I would like to share with you a SaaS I have been working on for a few months now, DynaBlogger. It's a new blogging platform I just launched as a simpler alternative to platforms such as Wordpress and Ghost, for people who prefer something less complicated but still with all the features one really needs for a great blogging experience. Wordpress is an absolute beast and for many people it can be overkill. There are other options but they are often very limited in customisation and features. If you would like to just focus on publishing great content without having to worry about hosting and servers, and would like something simpler than Wordpress or Ghost, then I believe DynaBlogger can be a great option.

DynaBlogger has a very nice and fairly powerful text editor, as well as a code editor that allows you to customise any aspect of a theme and see changes immediately without having to upload a new version. I am launching with a few simple ready themes and I will be adding more soon. In the near future it will be possible for any user to share (or even sell later) themes in a marketplace. Themes offer maximum flexibility so DynaBlogger can also be used for other simple sites, not just blogs. The DynaBlogger website is also hosted on DynaBlogger.

Of course you can add custom domains, and invite other people to collaborate on your sites. You, the owner of the website, can choose which permissions to grant to each collaborator.

You can also very easily import content from Wordpress or Ghost, so if you already have a website you could migrate very quickly.

There's a free 14 days trial - no credit card required - so it's easy to give it a try. With the coupon code "EARLYBIRD" you get 50% off for the first three months. You also get 2 months free if you choose a yearly plan.

My personal blog [0] is also hosted on DynaBlogger, so you can take a look at it for another example of website.

Thanks in advance for checking it out, I'm looking forward to any feedback!

Successful crowdfunding campaigns require substantial marketing efforts outside the crowdfunding platform, such as email lists, a community or customer base familiar with the brand/product/team, social media ads, etc. Exceptions exist, such as getting funded solely by being featured on the homepage or having an extraordinary product featured by the media, but those are relatively rare. Thus a campaign's success is mostly decoupled from the platform itself.

This is a great idea to avoid substantial platform usage fees in exchange for the ever reducing value proposition that Kickstarter or other centralized crowdfunding platforms provide.
Any company that is aiming to help folks rely less on animals for proteins excites me. Love to see stuff like this continue to normalize proteins that don't involve the mass torture and slaughter of animals.

I am not eager to submit to a robot. What you are saying here is that it is more important to you to punish other people for breaking a rule than it is for you to take responsibility for your own behavior. You are seeking an outcome that is worse for everyone.

Speed cameras perpetuate bias in painfully obvious ways.

1) Where do we put the cameras? This is susceptible to the same bias as individual police.

2) How do we apply the fines? Can some people get them reduced/waived? The legal system is the same and still biased.
This is standard practice in some domains. Reserve 1 or 2 cores for admin and possibly for the interrupt daemon, and isolate/affinitize app processes to the remaining cores -- ideally giving more resources to your "hot" threads, and better resources (the core "closest" to your NIC) to your network thread, etc.

Interestingly bombs in major stations are much much less effective. The 7/7 attack in London killed "just" 56 people with 4 devices used on packed transport systems. A single device on a 737 could reliably kill 150 people in one go. Bombs in crowded locations seem to be quite ineffective compared to bombs at 30k feet...
What's the break down of average human caloric intake from animals vs. plants? Is calories from animals close to the same fraction (77%)? If so, then changing from animal to plant diet wouldn't reduce the land requirements much.
Although undergrad is an opportunity to work in a research lab where you start to collaborate with graduate students and the professor that runs the lab. Additionally universities have many "students" (TAs,SAs,PLAs, there's many titles for them) running classes, so it provides a role model for students in a digestible n+1 format.
I remember being very hungry most of the day. If I ate, it was usually because I had enough change to buy junk-food snacks from a vending machine. I didn't know until recently other people also had similar experiences.
YouTube is a capricious and uknowable black box controlled by an ever changing algorithm that can decide on a whim that your content is not worth paying you for and which will grant advertising revenue to any any corparation whose work you are covering/transforming under fair use. It can destroy your livelihood in the blink of an eye and you likely will not have any human oversight unless you manage to raise a major fuss on social media.

PayPal offers nothing, afaik, to manage your community or tiered rewards and certainly has no ability to show how much a given creator is receiving. It was clearly never designed for recurring payments and when I've used it for those it seems like it was only grudgingly implemented.

None of these other systems have a good experience for the person, like myself, who donates to a large number different people. On Patreon I can easily view and manage all my contributions in one place. Becoming a patron for a new creator is seamless.

Despite my love for the platform though, them doing investment rounds seems bizarre to me. They've got a good thing going, and I'm not sure that dramatically increasing profitability requirements is a good thing.
If that were true we wouldn't need crowds to impose influence. Any one individual would be enough to influence any one other individual on the merits of the argument, but that's not how most people operate. Any attempt to influence is a sell no different than selling a hand bag.
Does anyone know the meaning of radius here? Does it measure from center to surface along curved spacetime or is it rather the radius that a sphere with the given surface would have if spacetime were flat (i.e. like the Schwarzschild radius of a blackhole)?

> The team didn't trial the 1,000-plus titles released for the Game Boy, but some of the biggest titles -- like Pokemon Blue -- have "sadistically huge" memory and don't require constant button pressing. That's a problem.

I'm curious if the emulator the authors are using loads the entire ROM into the computer's memory before running. The Game Boy traditionally has a 16-bit address space; games that had a larger amount of data would include specialized hardware that allowed addresses 0x4000-0x7FFF to be re-assignable. [1][2] Tetris or Tobu Tobu Girl [3] fit inside the initial space without swapping, meanwhile something larger like Zelda switches banks.

Reads mapping is a massively embarassingly parallel computation, again not something you would need or want a supercomputer for. You mainly need disk IO to/from the source reads and the mapping table you produce.

Those two are completely different sins - even putting aside that "cancel culture" as a term is about whose ox is gored. Fire a teacher for once having done porn in college or expel a student because their mother works as a stripper and they call it "community standards". Or for approving of gay marriage back in the 80s or 90s. But when they get fired for wearing blackface, or supporting literal genocide suddently it is cancel culture out of control. Their complaints aren't that the game is fucked up but that they aren't winning anymore.

Judging the past by the standards of today may be fallacious (said complaints ignore contemparies pointing out how fucked up it was meaning the ideas certainly were conceivable) but it is discrediting and not the erasure of knowledge of book burning.
I'm kind of impressed because when I was in college it took more than 10 minutes to find a parking space.

That assumes that all pupils have had an equal opportunity to study through lock down. I'd speculate that pupils from poorer backgrounds will not have had the same opportunities to study as those from better off backgrounds, so pupils from poorer backgrounds would be disproportionately disadvantaged.
The list will be inherently biased for recency (note that “Ursula LeGuin has died” is high on the list) simply because there are more people around to vote.

Doesn’t make the list meaningless, but it may not surface the “best” articles that might interest you.
What do you mean by thought?

A much simpler question can be answered: is it possible to be cruel to an animal? The accepted answer revolves around whether or not you can influence the behavior of the animal (or machine). Crabs naturally hide under rocks. If you shock them when they hide under the rocks they eventually stop hiding under the rocks. Meanwhile a bacteria, by itself, will never learn to associate a stimulus with a condition.

That may capture the capability for thought. There are higher levels past it, like learning to model the behavior of other organisms, and those models eventually turning into a theory of self.
Why would PRC start a trade war with anybody when they're all largely customers.

If we are getting divorced, how willing would I hypothetically be of supporting my wife? If I “wrote a contract”, should we have changed the contract every time that we made a decision for both of our benefit long term?

Do you often feel that the highly specific situation you find yourself in should be the basis for laws applied without cause to the rest of society?

It’s highly specific for married couples to work together and make choices that benefit the household as a whole, but puts one at a financial disadvantage if they separate? That’s kind of a sad outlook on life and marriage. Yes, I am on my second marriage. I know the realities of divorce.

Is it also highly unusual for one spouse to stay at home or take a lower paying job because it is beneficial to the family as a whole? (No, people go into education all of the time for just that reason).

Is it very specific for one spouse to take a job just for the benefits while the other is able to make more by being self employed or starting a business?

If a couple is not working together for the benefit of the family unit as a whole, something is wrong.
I don’t fav any posts that I like, but upvote them. I also up upvote the ones I want to bookmark, so that I can later come back to read more comments. I don’t really understand why I would need to fav a post.
Voted by who?

German chancellor is elected by Bundestag and not directly by the people.

I guess in terms of USA that would be like Democrats and Republicans coming up with a president.
I would guess "air as disinfectant" is primarily because of its oxygen content. O_2 is actually a pretty nasty molecule like that. Oxidation is typically a fairly tough reaction to reverse or prevent.
Wait... People actually unironically believe this line of reasoning?
A part of the difference between college and elementary/high school is that most people don't want to be in elementary/high school while in college there is a lot more self-motivation. Learning is a lot easier when you actually want to learn and improve and you feel you have a personal stake in what is going on.
I think it'd be a nice platform to teach assembly to university students as well, given the hardware is so ubiquitous, straightforward, and fun.
[0] Not that long ago someone put a bomb in a truck and killed 300+ in Mogadishu. The article is horrific, however. They completely discount the possibility for planning, and they use terms like 'military grade' to make the explosive seem more technologically advanced than it would ever need to be. This was far from the Guardian's best work.

EDIT - [1] Added another article (about another attack) just to show that this is a recurring event, and because the first article was of poor quality.

> I think blowing up planes is just a really really efficient way to kill people compared to blowing up almost any other grouping of people...

It would be if you could get onto the plane every time, and if you were willing to die. Once the terrorist surrenders their bags to be scanned the attack is no longer under their control.

And then there's the suicide aspect. If it's as easy as walking in, a single terrorist can repeat their attack many times over. If they have to get on the plane, it's almost certainly going to be with small device that they take with them directly rather than a bag under the plane.

Good luck with pubg servers banning you especially with free vpns which I presume most indians will use.

They may also force pubg to include a unique device ban. You can't change device ID without rooting your device.

Awesome. I am downloading it now. Thank you for the quick fix!
The actual article title: "Sociopathic traits linked to not wearing a mask or social distancing during pandemic: study"

Unfortunately for those with disabilities precluding them from wearing a mask--or who know that they do not have COVID or had it previously and have recovered, etc.--they now get a new insult lobbed at them by mask shamers: "sociopath". As if being called a "Karen", "anti-masker", etc. were not already dismissive enough.
Accepting the partial abrogation of rights eventually leads to ceding even more. It is extremely important to reject half measures.

> our general emergent behavior means that new words, phrases, and dialects would naturally emerge

Of course- this, plus geographic separation, is the reason we have so many languages today.

But technology and mass media bring to bear forces against language fragmentation that were never seen before historically.

Find me a great programmer, anywhere in the world, who can't carry on a fairly competent (not deep obvs) conversation in English. One would necessarily have to read docs in English, or use programming language keywords in English, or even interact with a global community of other programmers in English.

If you extend that into every other industry and school, it's feasible for the entire population of the world to be native-level in 1 global language, and for that competence to be maintained for hundreds or thousands of years.

Like the Marain language in Iain M. Banks' Culture series.
Even if it was, removing animals from the equation should reduce land use a lot, as an animal is, in this context, a machine for turning calories into fewer calories (of course looking at just calories is a bit of a simplification).
Hi, author here! This is a little thing I've made a while ago to scratch a personal itch and based on some positive feedback I thought I'd share it. Its use case is incredibly niche but for the people that need it, it has a high utility.

TL;DR

> Who is this for?

> People browsing the web over Tor but not with the Tor Browser

> What does this do?

> Cloudflare lets users of the Tor Browser pass CAPTCHA-free while requiring a CAPTCHA for all other Tor connections. This extension emulates some of the Tor Browser's behavior (which you won't notice) to trick Cloudflare into thinking you use the Tor Browser.

It’s mentioned elsewhere on this thread but essentially with cfs quota period default which is 100ms it’s really easy for multithreaded process to exhaust the quota and just sit there idle until next period. Another thing is if you have spare cycles that you presumably already paid for why not just use them?
When I started playing with MAME, I somewhat dreamed of a way to turn its highly structured code into something that could not only be compiled into an emulator as it is, but also be synthesizable into hardware.

The possibility of using a single codebase to generate both a software emulator and a hardware implementation is incredible, from a hardware preservation point of view.
That's the logic of collective bargaining. The best move is to get benefits that go to everyone equally instead of putting everyone in the position to potentially earn more. So increase the size of pensions and health care benefits. Also politically when the two sides are non-antagonistic the biggest reward possible is the one that's put in the form of an unalterable agreement to be paid by a future party.
Great to hear that PCIe 4 is not a necessity at this point.

About the PSU, for me the only reason to go with a 1000W PSU is that the fan will remain quiet with a GTX 1080 when idle and gaming as well. At least thats what I hope.

If the same is possible with the 3080 is more questionable, especially if the card draws 320W at all times.
Does being on the side of Russia, before a proper investigation is carried out, automatically make you a “Russian troll”?.
