How does Lynx compare to eww?

I occasionally use eww, though it a bit of unerogonomic pain. Esp without url autocomplete based on browser history.

Though I'm sure I could yak shave that with some elisp if I was motivated enough

(Firefox seems to eat all 8GBs or my RAM lately so it's getting more tempting)
The culture has changed around here in the last 4 years to favor centralized regulation of communication, which is a dizzying reversal of what it was about every year before that.
Would you rather play basketball with Shaquille O'Neal or
Neil deGrasse Tyson on your team? They're both humans. They're also both "black", so what's your point?
There is surely demand for it, just not at the prices they bought it
I fully agree that no-code tools can help you run your build-measure-learn cycle quicker. For example, with my startup [0] we have our product guy tweaking the landing page, changing the email templates, etc. without needing to bother me (tech guy). It's awesome.

> If I were to build another product, I probably wouldn’t code.

This is the part I heavily disagree with. Not all products can be reduced to a project in AirTable or equivalent. If you say you're not going to write any code at all, I feel like you're limiting the options of what you can build in a very extreme way.

Just want to build an "information product" where you're doing some courses or something? Then fine, I buy it. Otherwise, I think this is over hyped.

Yes you are correct that we can use useSelector to optimize selectors for Redux and I even implemented this hook in an interview on the whiteboard :D.

And yeah components are supposed to select only what they need in mapStateToProps and mapDispatchToProps. But I have seen a couple of instances where this is not followed and the developer chooses to use the entire state object passed to the component. This was fixed quickly and all developers got a short doc on the do's and dont's of Redux. This is what I mean by the extra work around redux library and not the concept itself.

Also its a fairly common to see developers pushing multiple micro updates like keystrokes to redux making it slow down. This gets filtered in the reviews but it misses out sometimes. I'm guessing this to happen in many other projects too unless I'm missing out on some major update on the tooling around redux.

These problems are not because of the approach but in the implementations. I hope you get what I mean by cost in my opinion above.
In the wake of the wannacry debacle, quite a few ISPs have moved IPv6 as well behind CGNAT.
In case there's further whining about this comment being downvoted: I didn't downvote due to hivemind mentality or agreement/disagreement about the original, I downvoted because whining about downvotes makes boring reading.

Additionally, it takes a single, random HN user with 500 karma to put a comment into "downvoted" state. It takes three or four to be "heavily downvoted" (which doesn’t apply to your original comment). Just not a very meaningful thing to draw conclusions from.
Oracle Migration to Austin to Take Place over Next 100 Years
For traditional publishing there is at least one person that is ultimately responsible for publishing it. The person is in the vast majority of cases subject to the same jurisdiction.

On YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc. I can push my agenda worldwide. Russia, China, Iran, and other non-democracies can make insane amounts of propaganda for very cheap to reach millions of people. The engagement algorithms even help the propagandists reach their target audience effectively. The algorithms help then widen the audience automatically through shares of their supporters and further engagement.
You're referring to the "Gell-Mann Amnesia" effect.

The book "Good Strategy, Bad Strategy" discusses this. There seems to be a group of people that think that "grow by 8.2 percent" is a strategy. It is not,

Michael Porter has been cautioning about mistaking a business model for a strategy for nearly 40 years, his ideas are taught in every business school, and the lesson still needs to be relearnt by every fresh set of senior managers.
Actually, in the age of ML it more or less does. You wire up the model, specify the metrics to optimize for, and then feed it lots of data. The algorithm figures out the details of how to achieve the specified goal on it's own. Have a look at (https://cs.stanford.edu/people/karpathy/convnetjs).
I can recommend material from Donella H. Meadows.
The book “Thinking in Systems” is a very good one.

I do have an ASD diagnosis so that part was at least factual.
We don't let you search in docs right now. That will come later on. What we offer right now is search on StackOverflow and public GitHub code.

Later on, we want to add many other integrations and offer a single input to let you search in all of them. We want to let you search in your infrastructure and actions you can do with them (we built Sidekick for this - https://getsidekick.app), docs, your local code, your team wikis, other 3rd party dev tools like Sentry, etc.

Also, we want to add "context". With this feature Devbook will understand what you're currently working on in your code editor/IDE and will offer you suggestions based on that. For example, you might get errors in terminal, Devbook will parse them and automatically search for answers. This way you will have answers for you problem without even having to search for anything.
And I wish more people would call it what it really is: optimization(regression) & statistics. The sooner the buzzword "AI / ML" dies, the earlier we can shift the wrongly allocated investment to more promising things, (just as blockchain caused all the weird money flow in one direction).

Unlike the blockchain, "AI" brigade seems to just have too many people that benefit from keeping it over-hyped so I guess it won't come soon enough.
> The argument is that they have become large and commonly used enough that they are akin to a public utility.

While this is an interesting conversation, you don't even have to go this far. You can just argue that rebutting bad ideas is more effective than censoring them and a good video hosting platform should value open discourse, and so YouTube should try to be as content-neutral as possible. If you convince enough YouTube users that open discourse is more important than censoring perceived falsehoods, then it might make more sense for YouTube to commit itself to open discourse.

GermGuardian AC4825 Air Purifier Review (Performance Test and Smoke Box)
The GermGuardian AC4825 is an amazing product, one of the most popular air purifiers on the market. In this video, you can learn about all its advantages and disadvantages.

You can find reasons to buy this device and get some knowledge to find the best air purifier that fits your needs.
The article doesn't state it, but you indicate the game is favoring the weaker player.

There's still a missing link: the article makes an assumption that the incentive to boost the weaker player is greater earnings. Otherwise it's hard to get upset about the practice.

But how does it translate to increased spending? I would guess that having more matched games would lead to both players having more fun and being more satified with their current skill levels.

Thank you very much! It's actually just an HTML5 template from a site called pixelarity.com. I have no affiliation with them and I can highly recommend their templates as simple, clean and fast. I'm using that same design for my new product so it's very good to hear you like it.
(In reply to the dead response, the recruiter never mentioned it but I found out many years later that the navy does indeed have pilots and they aren't as picky about eyesight. By that time it was way too late and I was down another career path. At the time I just trusted the recruiter since you'd hope they knew what they were doing.)
First, it is not at all standard industry practice, because only the largest players can get away with it.

Second, what is "standard industry practice" is exactly how ethical we force corporations to be.

FB, as a mindless corporation has it built into its very being to be unable to consider ethics and optimize profits on the edge of legality.

However, what the hell is your excuse, trying to normalise such behaviour as "standard industry practice" ??
Interested to hear what you are doing now and any journey's along the way.
Most probably technique issue. I've been intubated twice in my life, both times I felt nothing after waking up.

First time back in Russia when I broke my arm badly and they had to reassemble it from tiny pieces and second one in Australia recently.
>Even if we accepted the first imperative for a company, there is no imperative for people to keep buying.

News flash: people don't care about the environment either. If they did they wouldn't be satisfied with token gestures, but do radical changes to the society/workplace/lifestyle (some of that kind, like reduced flights, WFH, etc., came as a result of COVID, but would have been met with huge uproar by the general population on environmental grounds).

>it is made to last like a "normal" headphone and all of the software (ahem, computational audio) stuff can be achieved with any normal computer or smartphone where most people already have and use it as the audio source.

Technically, not really, as it depends on embedded microphones, movement sensors, and such.

It's not just the "3d sound" experience of yore, which was solely processed and encoded as a regular audio stream.
BetaList is great! Along with ProductHunt it's how we got our initial user base at Kitemaker. So thanks!
I’ve read before that the FBI estimates there are ~50 to 70 active serial killers in the U.S. at any given time. The problem is they’re incredibly sporadic and sometimes go dormant for any number of reasons for months, years, or decades at a time.

He didn't say anything about YouTube being forced to do anything.

"YouTube is wrong to do this" and "the government ought to force YouTube to act differently" are two distinct arguments.

Each situation is morally relative and animosity is ineffective at resolving conflict, instead only deepening the divide. You cannot fight hate with hate and achieve love. We all must be more tolerant of people and their fallibility in order to reach common ground and discover that we are all much more alike than we are different. Love the sinner, hate the sin, but teach and forgive. MLK nailed it when he said that the means are the seeds from which the ends grow. You cannot hope to bear fruit when starting from a rotten seed. It's so easy to retaliate but true power is the confidence to de-escalate.
I see where you are coming from and don’t disagree on many points. From a layman’s perspective, the causation vs correlation distinction I think works well still and I also think “machine learning” is a misrepresentation in its current use and limitations. But this is now getting into subjective opinion so it’s neither right or wrong. Nice talking to you on this topic :)

In the U.S. we did actually have this system prior to TV news and especially prior to radio.

Newspapers were the preferred news media then and they were numerous, sensationalist and partisan (literally often party owned). Misinformation was abundant and often inflammatory.

I'm not implying we should want to return to those times. (Personally I think this is largely about trade-offs.)Just that this is not the weird time. 1950-2000 was the weird time when there was a majority or at least a plurality consuming most their information from a very small and concentrated media sphere.
Let's use IPv6 more and it'll worth far less than $2B.
I'm not talking about /buying/ a server, but renting one as a service.

99.9% uptime is plenty enough for 99.9% of projects and that's easy to achieve with one server, k8s is not necessary here. You're not concerned with MPLS or whatnot when you rent a server.

I can tell because I'm running governmental websites on this kind of servers actually, with over a thousand admins managing thousands of user requests. I've been deploying my code on servers like that for the last 15 years and it was great really, also got fintech/legaltech project in production and much more.

I guess the project you're describing falls more in the 0.1% of projects than 99.9%.
The Overleaf gallery is a grab bag of basically all templates that exist, whereas I try to enforce a consistent commenting style and generally only add high quality templates (at least for recent ones). I launched the site in 2012 while I was at university and was surprised there was no single repository of templates online at all at that point!
To correct the quoted assertion...

He never said that was a condition. He only said that that serial killer targets black runaways, and that that is a marginalized group.
> Actually hearing the cases at both the state and federal level, and then throwing them out on the facts presented, instead of refusing to hear them on "lack of standing" to begin with?

Standing is a threshold issue without which there is no legally cognizable case to hear, but I suppose if you are backing a campaign against democracy being against the rule of law as well isn’t surprising.

It's not anyone’s fault but Trump's that the main party that actually has standing to bring a case challenging the results as improperly reached (the candidate who claims to be improperly defeated) keeps voluntarily dismissing the ones they initiate rather than trying to get them to trial, almost as if they are filing cases as a PR strategy with no intent to actually litigate them.
It’s sad that things got so interconnected that I expect hammers to require security updates any time now. I hope there will be a counter-trend. It is feature bloat scaled to the extreme, at industry level.

My take is that its because Texas at least has no natural barriers to contain sprawl, so its just sprawls outward as far as the eye can see. I suspect Minneapolis has similar geography.

Both Northern California and Southern California on the other hand have hills/mountain terrain which constrains suburban development.
But you do acknowledge that certain changes in society have taken place during the last few years, do you?
I think the point you were trying to make is that just because the IPv4 addresses are valued at $2B doesn't mean you'd be able to get $2B for them if you tried to sell them. This is correct, but it does not imply that they are worth less than $2B.

The point I was trying to make is that just because the IPv4 addresses are valued at $2B doesn't mean you'd be able to buy them for $2B.
The talk about "AI" is not just misinterpreted in the press, but the ML/AI practitioner themselves too.

I can understand academia & researcher hyping it up, they need to chase the funding. But code boot-camp "ML" engineers being all over-hyping is really, really annoying and contribute to the problem far worse.

These people are easy to spot: go to an ML/AI meetup or community that also shares latest tech. Since those does not understand the underlying math, they cant follow the paper, the talk or the discussion, so they quickly try to shift the discussion to "AI ethics" or "AI will take over the world" hypothetical useless discussions. These seems to also be the first to run out to promise big things with "AI".
You have invoked the fallacy fallacy. Unfortunately, special pleading is only a fallacy if something isn't actually different from the thing it's being compared to. So I disagree fundamentally that it's special pleading.

The hostility is not just from establishment, it's from normal people like me, GP, and millions of other Americans that feel like we're taking crazy pills because of all the stupid shit people now inexplicably believe due to weaponized misinformation at a scale never before seen.
No, it's a thinking error. People achieve competency in one area and then conclude that it applies to all areas as well.

How much are your legs worth to you? Really think about the question. How much would someone have to pay you for you to be happy for them to take them away from you? For me I can't put a number on that. I can't imagine any degree of compensation that would make me glad to make the exchange.

There’s grey area. For example: Half Life 2. Every so often there’s a downtime area full of boxes. The amount of loot in those boxes is enough to get your ammo up to the levels the game thinks you need for the next challenge.

Is this dynamic difficulty? Depends on how you view it. The worse you were at the previous section, the better your rewards, but maybe the challenge is just “get to the next area by any means necessary”.

Either way it’s pretty invisible to the player.
But web of trust is still something you have to know and consciously decide to use. What if a majority of people would simply ignore it because it conflicts with the opinion formed in their own bubble - or if they simply don't know about it or don't know how to use it?
I don't see why. Major consumer-grade French ISPs give IPv6 by default on FTTH installations and the router is configured accordingly (Orange, Free, SFR, Bouygues Telecom).

Generally, you get a /64. Of course, when using IPv6 there is no NATting, each of your device has its own IPv6 address of the /64 range allocated to you.
Parsing (use of rather than theory) matters as it affects my work. So I followed up.

Thank you for the note, I suspected as much but I do appreciate your elaboration on the topic.

I don’t agree with the approach (I would say for submissions that don’t have as many upvotes that somebody who took the time to write a thank you note reflects they actually read the article and it was worth the effort to write a note (which takes more effort than an upvote). This can be a important signal for others. It also I think is a nice feedback to the author, I always want to try and encourage people — when I receive positive feedback, it makes my day).

In some ways it’s a reflection of how the community (at large, not any individual in particular) views itself — to be such stringent guardians of information density, when in fact a large portion of the comments are relatively useless and misinformed (usually the most knowledgeable people speak less as they are busy actually working in their field, although they pop up from time to time).

However, when in Rome, do as the romans do.

I’ve worked with Rackspace techs in the past and they’re usually great at what they do!

Based on my own limited interaction with them, I don’t think it’s a ploy to retain you as a customer. It’s likely they’ve had some issues in the past and now have this slightly draconian policy in place to cover themselves in case of an issue.
You don't need the data. Hire UX experts, set up focus groups, dogfood your team, read bug reports from your users. Anything else is an invasion of their privacy and a sign of disrespect for the customer.

There are exceptions, though. If you can improve safety of your product by in-depth analysis (cf. FADEC [0]), and the customer is on board (no pun intended), go for it.

RPA has three types of users.

1. Web-first consumers too dumb to use more modern, structured interfaces, or migrate away from platforms that don't offer them.

2. Business units in large enterprise companies with dysfunctional IT that can't develop.

3. 40+ year old industries with a heritage of legacy computing systems, complex enough that migrations are measured in decades.

#1 doesn't have much money. #2 is eventually going to get their act together. And #3 is services-heavy, because they want you to support their kooky tech stack.

But essentially... if you can't fully support legacy Windows (mainframe + Java + Powerbuilder et al.), don't get in the game.

Which is a long way of saying it's winner-take-all, due to the volume of business required to amortize that custom Windows work over. UiPath realized this, which is why they pushed the pedal to the floor to goose growth.

Yea I agree, this pricing model isn't very alluring. The tool could be useful, but the time you promise to save won't offset that monthly fee in real-world time. There's a sunk cost of time setting up the automation that subtracts from the time savings. Try to get rich a little slower and you might have better success.
