I’m 100% in favor of moving towards a more “German” approach to language.
Yep. Wordpress is desperately uncool, you will be using a tool old enough to vote, you will be using old, proven technologies, but it fucking works and once you have set up your blog you can just keep coming back to it and actually making posts about whatever you want to share with the world, instead of abandoning it, then coming back a while later to check out a new blog setup built on whatever this month's hot language/framework is.

And you can get plugins to make that Wordpress blog auto-post to whatever the hell people use nowadays. Own your own data, be immune to having it all vanish when something happens to your account on Hot Social Site, or to the entire site.

I write less on my site(1) than I used to, twitter/mastodon has eaten a lot of that energy, but it is still where I go for anything lengthy, and it is still where I post my big comics projects.

Reddit hasn't been a home to deep discussion for 2+ years now. Every community is an echochamber, any dissenting views are downvoted to death simply for disagreeing with the hivemind. If someone compared HN to Tiktok, you'd laugh. But reddit is closer to tiktok than it is to HN in terms of signal to noise ratio.

HN is one of the last communities where I can see someone post a contrarian opinion and have an actual discussion about that opinion instead of it vanishing from downvotes. I don't ever want HN to become like reddit, and in that context calling out reddit specifically makes sense.

The sad thing is HN is slowly trending towards being like reddit as the community grows. I see more and more instances of people using downvote as an 'I disagree' button or posting low-effort comments. To that end, yeah, I think the community should do what it can to call those behaviours out.
Thanks for the answers. More questions if you're feeling up to it:

Will there be any sort of requirements to "demonstrate progress" to the funders (even if that means the results of a failed experiment or some sort of open lab notebook)?

Does all research need to terminate in a paper (as opposed to, say, tooling)?

In fact, how does accountability work in this system? Do researchers need to provide a provisional timeline? Research can fail or take unexpected turns away from the initial goal, and this may or may not make funders nervous. I guess this might be a way of asking: are participants funding people, or are they funding projects?

Will there be requirements to make all papers produced freely available? All source code? Is this at the researcher's discretion?

Suppose something profitable, or merely patentable, comes out of a Strato funded stint. Do the funders have any stake in such an outcome?

This sort of thing excites me, so I do hope you find some sort of success.
Internal hubs are amazing for the kind of bike that's always outside and gets maintenance beyond occasional tire pumping about as often as summer olympics are opened. Unfortunately SRAM stopped production of the T3 years ago, it was the perfect drive for a low maintenance, low value practical utility bike, providing the easy 80% of everything you want from bicycle gears for short distance commuting. Derailleur systems receiving a similar lack of maintenance are what turns people into short distance drivers.

I live in a very bike-friendly European town. I use my bike daily. I have seen maybe 10 if these things in the last 3 years, mostly owned by elderly people who were sold high-end e-bikes they don't need.

I'm sure this is happening in about 3-5 years from now, but not in your smart phone, but in an augmented reality glasses-like device (we can probably already build demos for this on NReal or Hololens). The HUD is going to be embedded in the real world. People will be able to control what information they show in their profile. I've seen some VR social apps already doing a very basic version of this, albeit in a 100% simulated environment.
They do a lot of work to combine multiple orders placed within short windows (motivated by cost savings, rather than carbon savings, but the effect is the same)...
It's horrible when a familiar respectable blogger suddenly dumps a pile of partisan talking points all seriously as if it's just as valid as their regular content. Suddenly, it shakes your confidence in their ability to think rationally when they're copying the exact beliefs of a major political group. He's just put a bit of "security" spin on it but still with the exact same conclusions.

He doesn't bother to show evidence of how this "undermining of democracy" would actually be a problem. Where do people stop voting because they don't trust the counting even when it's actually being done honestly? Where do people vote for the "wrong" candidates because they don't know what they want and need his benevolent intelligence to shield them from "bad" ideas? I guess those things have happened in the middle east depending on how you judge "bad" and "wrong", and to what extent you respect people's personal and religious beliefs.
Good reply. Maybe the passage of time has smoothed my memory.

Well, there’s also Apple’s success rate at pulling off transitions like this, and the fact that their developer partners know they have to either make the transition or abandon the platform.

Unlike Microsoft dipping its toes into the ARM waters, everyone knows Apple is committed to this.
For the invitations, I'm not sure what you're trying to say. The GP comment claimed "It is likely that the vast majority of invitations to people's homes were not sincere, and by taking locals up on their not-actually-intended offers, those foreign travelers are probably causing great inconvenience". Furthermore, the concept of being invited into homes is not something foreign to me, I have Couchsurfed in many countries and hosted many Couchsurfers. I have a decent feel for that sort of thing. There is a very large portion of people who actually do want foreigners to come stay at their home, myself included. Is that so difficult to believe?

As for the sandwiches: well, he also did it for a fellow Iranian, and I am pretty confident that I wasn't misunderstanding the situation: the guy just has a massive heart, and I've seen him do everything he can to help other people.

And as to your opinion about taarof, well, I'll just say that I have met many Iranians that simply regard it harmless, amusing, or an important part of their own culture. Iran is a big country, and just like you can find Americans that hate their own culture's habit of asking "how are you" with no sincerity, there are others that find it important.
I am Iranian, and I have to admit, taarof has been an interesting subject in my social interactions.

With other Iranians, I have no problem reading and sending social cues; with non-Iranians taarof makes me come off as super nice and kind. But what happened, when people repeatedly took me on on my taarofs, I grew silently very spiteful and distanced myself from them. If a guest is staying late we never ask them to leave, we ask them to stay for dinner and that is a cue that I am about to inconvenience myself and you have to leave, but more often than not, in situations like this, I ended up having a guest over for hours and then overnight lol.

It took me a while to rewire my brain to set the boundaries explicitly, and I have to admit it is still excruciatingly painful for me to reject someone; makes me feel very rude. Nonetheless this approach works great, I dare say a more straightforward culture allows for a better mental state by allowing explicit and clear boundaries for oneself.

Exactly my thoughts. JavaScript has made the web a powerful platforms, which otherwise would have been infested with proprietary technologies like Flash, XAML, Applets etc., Because of what JavaScript brings on to the table, today we can think of building application on par with native applications. Bashing of JavaScript is unwarranted.

>Will otherwise intelligent people want to fight tooth and nail if I mentioned any specific VPN provider being incapable having privacy assurances you can rely on?

I agree if your threat model requires that nobody eavesdrop/log your traffic, then a commercial VPN service probably isn't the right tool, and you should probably use tor instead. That said, it doesn't mean commercial VPNs are placebo/snakeoil. They still provide:

* anonymity from the websites you visit: your home internet connection's IP typically uniquely identifies you/your household (assuming no CGNAT). Meanwhile, a VPN server might be used by tens of hundreds of people, which greatly increases your anonymity set. It's further improved if you rotate VPN servers, because a VPN service might be used by millions of people.

* extra degree of separation: your ISP knows a lot of info about you (name, address, payment info, maybe even credit score), whereas a VPN service might only know your email and the ip you connect from. If your VPN service decides to go rogue and sell your browsing habits, they'll have a much harder time associating it with your real life identity.
Depends how much randomness you need. I usually just use a rand alpha of length 6-8. You can also use dictionary words (see gfycat).

Sample Ruby code:

8.times.map { (('a'..'z').to_a + (0..9).to_a).sample }.join

It's less collision resistant than UUID, of course.
This looks really interesting. I’ve been doing this separate email for everything for over ten years now just using my own manual setup and I swear by it. Glad to see you have made this whole project open source. Good work and good luck.

I guess I should think about finally switching Quicksilver to use native notifications for whatever iTunes is playing.

Or just leave it until I get a new Mac with an OS that Growl won't run on. It works fine and I have better things to do.

Thanks for all the unobtrusive notifications that I was able to customize, Mr. The Tick. Spoon!
As a fellow fan of Kondo, I've come to realize there's a spectrum with absolute minimalism on one end (one each of a few things) and hyper-resilience (hoarding) on the other end. I now think it's reasonable to find a comfortable spot on the spectrum with more resilience, and then use Marie's principles to stay in that spot vs. getting rid of almost everything. Of course, one's comfortable spot changes over time and in the face of other factors like local climate risks.
I haven't ordered anything online all year. I'd rather support the local retailers in my town that have been suffering and on the brink of shutting down all year.
Lovely post and like everyone else here I cut my teeth on qbasic as well. Great idea to bring it back to teach young ones the basics, pun intended :P

One reason I think ebikes are great is because their main target isn't hardcore cyclists but everyday people who need to get from one point to another easily.

Ebikes require a bit more maintenance than a regular bike for sure, but a lot less than a car. They also let you transport more cargo than a regular bike and very often get you there quicker than a car.

I also know a couple people who own ebikes and use them exclusively for running errands (e.g because they don't want to break a sweat when getting groceries).

Sure, and websites should respect that the browser doesn't want JavaScript. I've taken great care to make sure my site works with and without JavaScript. What I don't understand is why it's trendy to say you don't have JavaScript on your site.

Of course it does. Otherwise intermediaries can inject ads, tracking, spoof the content, or even redirect it to a malicious page.
The mitigations for spoofing sequence numbers might be different for each OS, and that would allow the OS to be fingerprinted. See nmap's OS fingerprinting, for example.
I’m the exception to the rule — I wrote my own blogging software to power this site https://psalm.dev/articles but haven’t written about it.

It is interesting to consider how profoundly obsolete such devices are these days. We live in a world where anyone with a bit of knowledge can establish encrypted communications anywhere in the world without having to trust any third party. This state of affairs is recent enough that we still don't know the long term ramifications.
When in Iran, I will often need to, discretely, in English, whisper to a local Iranian friend "is this tarof?".

What hasn't been mentioned so far - even local Iranians are not always 100% certain if a situation is involving tarof or not.
Yes, of course there are Iranians on both sides of the issue, but from what I can tell the vast majority of its critics are a handful of young Iranians living outside of Iran. My experience is that Iranians in Iran are favorable towards taarof and big users of it, and Iranians outside of Iran are very pessimistic about it, as they generally are about most things Iran-related.

I think of this as a positive thing. The Growl project achieved it's goal to make macos better for everyone.
I really don't think that's true. For one thing, anything beyond static content sites are just not going to work. And even content sites could well be unusable without their layout CSS. I really don't see the point in subjecting oneself to such hassle.

I would suggest that most websites work better if you have javascript and CSS enabled, since that's what they were designed for, but use an ad blocker like uBlock matrix to remove the ads.
Probably because they couldn't keep waiting. It also means the 16" MacBook Pro goes through battery life at high speed from experience.

>It's entirely possible that in your life, you could have succeeded and still ended up becoming poor

What does being poor have to do with it?

You can succeed at lots of things, but if you don't try to get rich(assuming you don't start that way) you're probably not going to. But if you've never tried, then how can you fail at it?

Getting rich is a focus in and of itself. There's lots of people successful at many things, they might not get rich off it, but unless that's something they really wanted, they probably won't feel much a of a sense of failure because they're not.
There's also a Firefox extension called "Disable JavaScript" that places a JavaScript toggle switch on your address bar and remembers whether you want JavaScript on or off on each specific site that you visit.
> find a connection who can put you in touch with someone at Amazon.

I was at Audible for many years, and at least within that section of Amazon this would have been very sound advice.

If any complex legal procedures, economic regulations, or necessary international standards must be followed to sell your product, there is a strong chance that Amazon's policies are being handled by a single GM/PM type who can directly handle the internal tooling necessary to remedy the ongoing issue.
When Americans say "how are you?", think about how often there is no interest whatsoever in the reply, or, how often the reply is not truthful.
While I'm in the camp that use Javascript is fun, useful, and cool, I also realize it's not nearly as necessary as some think it. The nojs.club site is a good idea, but now that it's been established I hope to see some actually good looking websites added.

There were about two when I clicked through the top 15 links- most of them are small black text on a bright white page. I'm grateful that at least the majority of those restricted page width to something less than 100 characters.

How is Rust support for the platform?
There's a perverse bias here that's almost in strange loop territory.

To submit a site, you have to file an issue on GitHub. If you consider developers who use GitHub vs developers who don't/won't use GitHub... it seems that any given developer in the former set is more likely to be using JS on their homepage than those in the latter set.

Regardless of anything, given the subtleties of the way the system is designed, it's important to understand that this is not, as will be popularly interpreted, a "list of people with homepages that don't use JS", but instead "a list of people on GitHub who have homepages that don't use JS".
This is Python 3.6 -> 3.9 compiled to Intel running under Rosetta 2.

For Rust I am running the ARM toolchain that was recently released, so no Rosetta involved at all.

There are the chairs at https://imperatorworks.com/

The only way my back problems get better is by getting out of the chair and exercising combined with chiropractor(a good one). Different people have different types of back issues though. Sit/stand desk is hardly an option for me, since standing is painful. Sitting is much less painful. A chair like those linked, would generate the least pain in the short term. Long term, the mere fact that you would likely use it in the reclined position, means your muscles become weaker. This may contribute to spinal issues. It is almost not worth becoming dependent on it. I have the easiest time sitting long hours in a super adjustable chair such as the affordable workpro quantum 9000 chair. Herman Miller makes quality chairs and may have better options. The Aeron may be one.

The two most important things for me are the proper seating position in the chair(lower back) and raising the height of the monitor so that I almost have to look up(neck).

I would suspect it's about our radical change in lifestyle.

Previously scented candles where more marketing but once people became more home orientated and practically used they found they were not what they were promised.

But it's an interesting theory.

OT: I think there's some want for scenting homes using better tech. The market is currently more about the lifestyle over the practical.
Being able to easily install it using homebrew is really where that need came from. I can use the existing bottles and the recommendation for right now is to not mix and match both Intel/Arm binaries.

Also, the ARM version of Homebrew is not yet ready for primetime, there is a ton of software that doesn't compile for ARM yet (Including MacVim).
> What does being poor have to do with it?

I was addressing OP's concern about his own life: "In some cases I really would become poor or have no future if I didn't succeed"

I agree with you that part of OP's problem is framing success together with things like being rich and having a future.
