Ask HN: What app have you bought in 2020 that improved your life?
A fast web page is not mythical. It's also not some unknowable or untestable thing. If you make a page of X bytes, Y number of resources of Z bytes, you can pretty easily calculate load time ranges for a variety of network conditions.

You're never going to be able to overcome physics so you aren't going to somehow make a ten megabyte JavaScript monstrosity load instantly over a spotty 3G connection in the middle of nowhere.

What you can do is give some worst case connection the best chance you can to successfully load your page.

Instead of building it all in the DOM with JavaScript send the client the damn HTML. Send some baseline CSS in a style tag. Use CSS patterns instead of big header images or backgrounds. Use box/text shadows to make elements stand out without images. Bundle as much as possible (CSS sprites, JS bundles, etc) to cut down on external resource requests. Minify and compress the shit out of everything. Include a viewport meta tag.

It's not that difficult to have a good looking and functional page that's literally a single HTML page. A single compressed resource that has everything it needs in a single load.

We're actually in an era where the average web browser is extremely capable and isn't some version of IE. Even super low end Android phones have a very capable browser installed by default. You've got HTML5 and CSS3 along with at least ES6 everywhere. The same is true on the desktop in most areas.

There's also just so much shit you don't need in most pages. Far too many people treat a web page like it's some full blown mini OS. There's also a seeming generation of web devs that have no idea what browsers do and think they need to include the kitchen sink to display some text or load resources. You definitely don't need to override scroll events.

You can never make a universally fast page because you don't control the user's environment. But you can make pages and fast and as light as possible so they're not wasting anyone's time or battery. You can also focus on uncached loads because honestly that's going to be a majority of visits.

Sorry, I hate dark mode apps. Too much eye strain for me. Give me a terminal screen with dark grey letters against a not quite white background and I'm good. Too many books when I was younger I guess.
In the era of 8K cameras, UFO pictures are always fuzzy and blurred. What a strange coincidence.
Well you can do amazing things with svg animations; there are a lot of interesting examples here that would be hard to reproduce in CSS: https://css-tricks.com/guide-svg-animations-smil/ (like try to do the car following a line example in css ...) but I try to stick to css animations for better "reviewability" of the code. SVG animation is a niche thing :)
yes, technically the next generation of Starships flying to Mars would be fission powered. Unfortunately the regulatory regime makes any fission related development close to impossible. Add to that practical unavailability of fission fuel - even NASA has issues getting those mere kilograms of plutonium, and even Musk wouldn't be able to get nor breeder reactor, nor enrichment plant (here on Earth i mean).

As a result, the fusion "in 20 years" is much more plausible and feasible for the likes of SpaceX than fission.
If you have never run into problems with macros expanding in the wrong sort of environment then you have probably not used it very extensively. If you have run into the problem of switching commands because of their fragile-ness then is it true that you never lost any time debugging?
Same thing with macOS (pushing iCloud and other junk), as well as many other websites. People want their cashflows ensured. It definitely sucks, but I've started moving to my own solutions for stuff (S3 instead of some garbage overpriced solution from Googlapplesoft, or my own note system) and it feels better. Only you can prevent forest fires!

College-debt cancellation is currently being discussed on a shallow level, so it’s easier to discuss. Mass surveillance needs some in-depth thought that requires a principled approach to simple questions like ‘if you are not doing anything wrong, what do you have to hide?’. Most people can’t make it past that one point, so it’s an intellectually stunted topic at the moment.

If we sat here and said we will cancel college debt, refund everyone that actually paid for college their money, refund those who paid their college loans, then refund everyone that went to college ever with an inflation-adjusted amount, then we come to the core of the issue of the price of education, and what is fair when you give amnesty to one group of college goers but not others. The true debate is about fairness, and on a technical level, what is affordable, and lastly who bears responsibility of giving and taking loans. Anyone truly ready to discuss this in-depth? Or do we just want to say the rent is too damn high?
Fully agree and I think it is important to point out, that while he created $150 billion of value for himself, at the same time he created even more value for a lot of people, like any Tesla shareholder. Most of the value of Tesla is not owned by Elon, but by shareholders, often holding only small amount of stock and gaining directly.

Also, of course those companies pay salaries and other companies. A lot of wealth was created for society.

Not to mention the beneficial effects of the operations. Teslas have started as luxury cars, but they have clearly paved the way for electric cars for everyone. And while electric cars by themselves won't save the climate, without them, we could not save the climate.

Very soon a lot of people are going to enjoy fast internet across the globe, that is a very tangible benefit for every single customer and a lot of economic growth will be enabled by that, especially in countries which are currently lacking communications infrastructure.
With Word, you even have to fight it to not put images and their image captions on separate pages.

You keep saying this, and this has simply not been true since Word 2007. You keep captions on the same page as their respective pictures using the same method you keep all lines of a paragraph on the same page: Keep with Next in Paragraph options. If a caption (or picture) still flows onto the next page, that is because it simply won't fit into the page without resizing the picture or changing the page margins.
I like threads like this. Similar to the most impactful paper you have read thread I look forward to the responses here. This year I am searching for budgeting apps to take control of my finances.
This is a phenomenal answer to something I've wondered about for so long. Thank you for presenting data!
We (as in the IT Sec industry including me) prefer to blame Matthew. Or my 80 year old mother for not installing the latest Adobe patches in real time.

With 30 years of daily experience in this field, I am ashamed about how we fail Matthew & my mother in the sense that they can still not just enjoy the internet and open random emails without one of us blaming them for how stupid they are.
I think infection rate with delayed symptoms is the most dangerous property of Covid-19, so unless it is a very controlled environment, it seems a bit anticipatory.

There should be enough infected people, maybe they should define the controlled parameters they need to broaden the candidate pool for studies?

There’s 2 ways to make money in software: bundling and unbundling.

There’s downsides to both.

We’re on a trend of unbundling right now, but the pendulum is quickly shifting the other way.
The difference there is that the pausable SVG is embedded on the page as an object element. There is Javascript inside the SVG document that is enabling the replay to be pausable.

Github readmes however only allow embedding SVGs as images, and Javascript won't work in that case.

It is a botnet. Microsoft has never been able to stop computers running Windows from becoming part of botnets. Now these computers are all part of the "Microsoft botnet". Redmond can remotely control computers running Windows, e.g., to install "updates".
If you know the iP the DOH client uses you can intercept it. But you can’t spoof it without breaking TLS, which means deploying your own certificate

This general industry move will lead to more tls breaking proxies and more network interception. All because people don’t want to understand how a network and os work.

Making doh at the application later normal it moves the power towards the centralised advertising network and away from the individual. That the SV culture likes this is unsurprising.
> We could have avoided PHP and the zoo of MVC frameworks.

I doubt that. Javascript frameworks have their value inside a corporation - they enable replaceable cog worker programming. The result sucks, but hiring and replacing React programmers is easier.
>Are they light pattern people getting exploited? Why won't society raise their salaries, so more people will work as nurses or at least not resign

I would guess that most nurses get into the job because they want to help people, that seems like a really light pattern trait.

Society only very indirectly decides their salaries. At least in most countries right now it's a market mechanism that is ruthless. Of course there are other humans that may or may not have moral qualms. But as long as some people are ready to exploit others they have a pretty clear financial competitive edge (all else being equal).

If nurse salaries are low the economic answer is simple, it's because there are enough (or too many) nurses willing to take this job at that pay level.

The societal answer is not that simple. We actually want more nurses, because they are needed. We also don't want to pay more for healthcare, maybe we can't, America seems to be at the limit here, Western Europe is already close. So if you want more and better paid nurses without paying more, that only leaves shifting money from insurances, hospitals and pharmaceutical/medical equipment companies to nurses.

And to get to do that there has to be some market pressure or regulation.
If there's a niche artist which has a 1000 dedicated and loyal listeners, that's an audience paying $10k per month to listen mostly to their music. The platforms and the labels should get their cut, sure, taxes paid, and so on, but if the system is fair this kind of revenue may suffice for a small indie artist to make a living. How many listeners should an artist have to break into four digits monthly?
Me too. I almost became desperate enough to buy one several months ago when I was having difficulty standing all day, but I just could not part with the $8k. Biking, running, stretching and so on I want to believe help with the pain but if they do it makes so little difference that I cannot be sure.

I've looked into other workstations but most of them only go between sitting and reclining. Unfortunately, I think the ability to convert to a standing desk for pain relief will continue to be a necessity based on my experience with recliners (the only recliner I can actually sit in cost me quite a pretty penny), so a station with only two positions is no better than my standing desk now.

I can't wait until workstations like this one are affordable.

What exactly is the point of this when you could have pure JSON as a hidden form value without any of the "hacks" or worries about content type...
Word lets you change the styles of every level of indention in an outline/list, including, for example, by left-justifying list items instead of indenting them on subsequent lines.
Unfortunately, the challenge seems to be "how fast can we render a cookie notice that will waste 2-5 seconds and content that deliberately hides answers to keep the user on the site".

It's pointless to make a website ridiculously fast before making the experience as user-hostile as permissible.
They have a telemetry service (compatibility telemetry) with a bug that kills your CPU for years now that certainly fits the technical definition of malware just fine.
>but to think that constraints are no longer an issue is dangerous.

The fundamental problem is that we are not hitting those constraints. Lots of unemployed or underemployed people mean that inflation won't bit in the short term. Effective policies that put these people to work will cause inflation as usual. Inflation is a good thing in moderation.
You'll be glad to learn that Word has included a "Restart List" option for 13 years or more (was relabeled to "Restart Numbering" at some point)
To be fair I’ve got a fairly nice DSLR but without a $3000 chunk of glass in front of it, everything looks like a blurry mess at any distance which a UFO may be involved. I don’t own a $3000 chunk of glass.

UFOs are certainly real but they probably aren’t extraterrestrial if you consider Occam’s razor.
> Who is offering new grads $150k regularly?

Google, Amazon (and subsidiaries like Twitch), Microsoft (and subsidiaries like Github), Facebook, Linkedin, Stripe, Square, Lyft, Uber, Snap, Oracle, Apple, Dropbox, Box, Nvidia, Twitter, Slack, Salesforce, ByteDance and a slew of others. And I'm including only companies that pay out 150K in cash equivalents (cash + annual bonus + liquid stock) in that list.

After a promotion, that list probably doubles in size.

> What new grad making $150k is going to qualify for a loan on a million dollar house?

I don't think I ever suggested this. What I did suggest is that someone who graduates at 22 or 23 (and, with the big caveat that they do so with little to no existing debt), gets a 150K starting comp, and has even a modest amount of career growth will be able to save a whole bunch of money in their late twenties.

> A SWE in their 20s banking $100k a year? Must be nice.

Like I said, its absolutely ridiculous.
I feel like this would be way more involved and many individuals have better more verifiable alibis with the things listed. Like I'm sure there will be drawback cases but it is seems in aggregate that this stuff is generally positive.

My girlfriend is the opposite, also serious eye problems but very sensitive to light. She embraces dark mode.

The way XML does namespaces is one of the best things about it - you can host any XML dialect within another, with no name clashes, and without losing the schema identity of embedded parts. Infinite data composability, subject only to the constraints placed by schema authors. And namespaces are URIs, so they can be URLs.

The bad smell was mostly coming from all the things inherited from SGML - CDATA, entities etc. Although I would also add that separation into elements and attributes is not a particularly convenient way to model many things; it mixes up differences that should really be orthogonal (ordered/unordered, atomic/composite etc).
If you're looking for projects that you find interesting, as a mean to learn Rust, you may also find interesting The Ray Tracer Challenge and Mazes for Programmers.

There are also application-based books (rather than "concept-based"), like Rust Programming by Example, and the upcoming Hands-on Rust. Also, a notable app-based tutorial is "Build your own JIRA with Rust" (I didn't try it, though).
Perhaps reading the thread again will help.
The killer is definitely not wheelchair-bound – Sacramento County's DA's office released a video of him exercising in his cell and climbing all over the furniture on the same day as his sentence was handed to him. The use of a wheelchair was a cynical attempt to evoke sympathy.

He also has form for faking medical issues. He was caught shoplifting while still a police officer and tried to fake a heart attack in the hope that they would let him go/it would enable him to escape.

Is it one of the worse Corona places on the planet?

652 deaths per million places it at 24 place, well below italy, spain, uk, argentina, usa, brasil, france and even sweden.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deat...

IIRC the idea was to ensure that the hospital infrastructure must hold the pressure and from what I heard from family and friends, hospitals in switzerland did hold up just fine (unlike Italy) and the numbers seem to reflect that.

Now, I know that deaths is not the only metric as the side effects of corona in survivors might be a huge problems, but I'm not aware of any good indicator on how countries compare on that front. Possibly hospitalization efficiency can also affect likelihood of having non-fatal post-covid complications?

(Swiss living abroad in one of the actual worse Corona places in the planet)
I have no idea how that happened, but one day, I found Teams suddenly automatically installed on my spouses computer; and not only auto-installed, but it auto-started on Windows start.

How? Why? It was probably bundled with Office and/or Windows.

MS got news-breaking fine for far less with Netscape before. But, nobody cares in 2020.
More, yes, but it's not at all difficult for me to imagine it still ending up being a small chunk of the population anyway.

Regarding locationiq, you could provide an option when sharing to disable geocoding. There are many cases (eg: when hiking in the wild) where it provides little value.

Radar corners can be lightweight and are used to make objects highly visible to radars. Like weather ballons, which can drift anywhere and be a hazard for planes.
>One of the frequent issues I hit with other people is that they will "block off" a choice before actually evaluating it.

I constantly experience it and don't understand it, personally. I'm not sure if it's a dark trait in and of itself to be able to think through many options though.

I'm sometimes quite frustrated when people will say "we can't do this" before even hearing the end of the sentence. I've always chalked it up to lack of fantasy, but maybe it's a very strong moral compass as you suggest.
R^2 of 10% means 10% of the variance in one variable is accounted for by the linear regression on the other variable. That is, the expectation of the conditional variance (the amount of variance left after using the information from the linear regression) is 90% of the unconditional variance.

A p-value of 0.01 means that under the null hypothesis (generally that the variables are independent), a result at least this extreme (in this case, with at least this large a correlation) would be seen 1% of the time.

Note in general that R^2 = 10% does not imply p = 0.01, nor the converse. They are largely unrelated measures. In principle one could have a small correlation with high significance, or a large correlation with low significance.

For most badges it would probably work to hard-code a size. I think the badge's document could also adjust to the size of the frame (via viewport dimensions) with JavaScript. I'm pretty sure though that GitHub couldn't resize a third-party iframe to its content even with JS because of cross-origin restrictions preventing it from accessing the document.
Its nice to uncover a hidden gem, and my tastes have always skewed towards the obscure. In Spotify's defence- they are actually really good at digging up old, unknown stuff that I really like. (I say all this as an ex-professional musician who spent far too much time flicking through vinyl in second hand record stores in his youth.)

Its not as if 80% of the music on Spotify is offensively terrible, its just that its not good enough to buy, and therefore it should come as no surprise that 80% of artists make less than £200 a year.
