On a fundamental level, living any kind of life, “simple” or not, is a fruitless attempt to discover the ideal way a life should be spent. There is no single, truthful answer to that question. It is entirely possible to live a simple life and adhere to the standard Steve set here - perhaps the simplicity of your lifestyle is the thing that will change the world.
I once missed an overnight bus in a developing country, which was going to result in the loss of a day at my destination. After sulking for a few minutes, I posed the idea that we offer to pay someone to drive us overnight, under the suspicion that this would be surprisingly affordable.

Turns out, it was affordable, and we did it. It was, however, the scariest night of my life. I don't recommend doing this, but it was a lesson in what is possible, if I think outside the box.
The NG doesn't pretend that it's news?

And of course that this is the key to the origins of life - how could we possibly make progress on this question without understanding this first?

Anyone who learned CSS in the first 2000s decade was living in a world where designing a webpage was 5% getting the design down and working in Firefox, and 95% getting something to kinda sorta work in IE6. Just be glad we’re not trying to use “float” to make multi-column layouts anymore.
MapOut is a superb alternative for iOS. Intuitive interface and lovely cartography.
Nice blog about the early styling proposals which predate my webdev experience.

For the newbies, back in the CSS 1 days, the intention was to create separate styling rules to make maintaining or changing styles easier. If you ever had to style HTML before CSS by wrapping each and every any colour or font change in HTML elements or embedding background colour attributes inside each table cell, you'll understand the pain it was addressing. The CSS 1 spec was relatively small and easy to understand - although pretty limited.

I first seriously tried to make that work in the IE4 days. IE4 was almost kinda OK at CSS1, but NN4.x was just awful. Opera was (not surprisingly) the best at CSS, but nobody used it.

The complex layout stuff came not log after in the much bigger CSS 2, but the nature of IE only badly implementing a fraction of it for a decade or more meant that most people just cargo culted IE work arounds and never really sat down to learn any of the principles. Not claiming they were great principles, just that there were some :)
I also like the general idea of the quote and I'm against calling someone's way if life "less", but I think the value to be had is from the realization and everyone should have that realization.

OsmAnd fits description perfectly, you can place bookmarks, no account required, maps from OSM, offline maps which can be used even without internet connection.
Because this is something that apple would have had to specifically develop and test and it’s a feature that almost no one uses so it’s quite realistic that they would have not bothered.

Under the same line of logic we should be able to boot an iPhone off an external drive since it’s technically just as capable.
These might make more sense with a justification
yes and that's what it's all about isnt it. things should only be built if they are going to pay for themselves. it's good to have experts like you around to help us understand when this most important requirement is unlikely to be realised.
OSMand is much more complete than maps.me.

A usable alternative to gmaps for me.
Same thing with automated SEO outreach. It's getting really annoying.
For this use case, let me recommend http://gaiagps.com/

You do need a subscription for offline maps...but you get very good map layers for outdoor use (some based on OSM data, some based on "official" sources like USGS or Ordnance Survey), you can create routes and tracks, set waypoints etc.

The point isn't that you can spend money on travel. Everyone knows how to book plane tickets. The interesting (and dubious) claim is that you can pay money to hang out with exactly the kind of people you prefer.
Not sure why I would want to install a new browser to read an article?

In Apple's defence, linux still isn't fit for purpose from an every day user security standpoint. On linux I can't install and run a program without giving it access to my network and write access to all of my data. For the average person, the whole point of a computer is to be able to run software that usually interacts with things (data on disks) and people (over the network).

My mum doesn't want to be able to brick her computer by pressing the wrong sequence of keys / buttons in the control panel. And she doesn't want a malicious program to be able to use her credentials to encrypt and ransom all her company's data. Removing features from my mum's computer makes it a better device for her. And sometimes a better device for me - I trust my iphone to safely run 3rd party software more than I trust my linux desktop.

Apple's philosophy - while very different from what I want in a computer - is absolutely oriented toward a sensible, well thought out vision of computing. I think us hackers do a disservice by dismissing the use case.
Yeah it was incredibly slow to render the map for me while google maps was flawless

> Our WireGuard mesh sees IPv6 addresses that look like fdaa:host:host::/48 but the rest of our system sees fdaa:net:net::48.

Is it not feasible to make wireguard more flexible with a bit mask? The annoying thing with having to use 1:1 NAT in a packet pipeline (which is what you’ve done here) is that logs, metrics, etc get all screwed up for correlation because wireguard doesn’t see the same things everyone else does.

I guess putting wireguard in the kernel wasn’t such a hot idea after all?
Yes, I own a few in fact. Although I don't live in CA. It was quite an arduous journey too, the paperwork was lost twice, once by the local sheriff (who has to sign an affidavit saying he or she vouches for you) and subsequently by ATF who approve the paperwork and send you a tax stamp as proof of this approval. Interesting Americana for an immigrant like myself and I had to get these machine guns just because it is such an American thing to do.

The problem with reverts of merge commits in git is that it doesn't behave like most people intuitively expect. If you merge B into master, find a problem, revert the merge and push a fix to B and try merging B again most devs would expect the result in master to be equal to having just merged the fixed version of B to begin with. But it ain't so.

I agree of course that SVN is much worse than git for most purposes, although it's still used frequently in preference to git in design artifact heavy settings because it won't choke as quickly as git on binary assets from artists or designers. The question of what tool handles merge commits better is a bit academic to me, so I do not know the answer. The two reasons for this are: 1. there is currently no practical benefit in learning a better VCS given the dominance of git 2. I gave up on using merge with git.
That is how we here think, but for covert advertising it is sufficient to get the word "microbiome" in the news as often as possible and to stress that it's important.

Unlike most posters on HN I cannot speak for the whole industry, since I actually had been working there for a couple decades so I can speak only about my motivation. First of all it's interesting. All I do is solve interesting math problems and get paid for that. Then there is money: I get paid a bonus based on the game's sales. And some vanity too - there are games around whose authors are already dead yet they are remembered because of these games and their creations left a significant impact on millions of people.
I don’t think that’s right. What Shannon’s channel capacity theorem says is that a channel with a certain bandwidth and SNR can carry a certain rate of information. It doesn’t matter how the source information is encoded. Actual modern signals on a transmission line, like gigabit Ethernet or your cable modem are not just on and off pulses, they are complex analog waveforms.

The reason for bits being the normal representation of information is that they’re easy to do math on, and in a computer, digital logic is much more efficient in binary than in higher number bases.
> This is not fun at all, this is dangerous, as the media is used mainly for propaganda.

Well, in the United States we have Fox News and OAN. They're entirely commercial and serve a single party's interests. (Or rather, the interests of the management.) These channels are profitable because people want to watch it.
The law you’re referencing sounds like https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.x... . There’s an interesting set of exclusions that includes:

A bank, bank holding company, or the subsidiary or affiliate of either, or a credit union or other financial institution, licensed under state or federal law.

Not a lawyer so not sure if this applies in this case. I did find the exclusion list interesting (and saddening).
Everyone is eager to judge you, but I'm just curious. Why xo you think it made you happier?

OpenStreetMap doesn’t have any official router associated with it. (Note that the basic router on openstreetmap.org is just a tech demo.) Instead, developers are encouraged to come up with their own routers that take whatever features they feel important into account. For example, some routers based on OSM data pull in third-party publicly available elevation datasets.

The most commonly used routers for bicycle touring – Brouter and Cycle.travel – certainly take elevation into account and helped me personally out all over the world. Brouter has a hiking mode, though it is still in beta, and perhaps there are hiking-specific elevation-aware routers out there.

Flix aims to occupy a unique point in the design space. It combines features from programming languages like Go, Haskell, OCaml, and Scala in a way that no other language does. It has:

- a sound type system (like Haskell and OCaml)

- a complete local type inference algorithm (like Haskell and OCaml)

- eager evaluation (like OCaml and Scala)

- CSP style concurrency (like Go)

- type classes (like Haskell)

- full tail call elimination (like OCaml and Haskell)

If you look at the "Innovations" page you will find that Flix has (at least) two features found in no other programming language: a polymorphic type and effect system and first-class Datalog constraints.

(I am one of the authors of Flix).
It's great to see structural typing in the form of polymorphic extensible records. But I am a bit disappointed they didn't go further, I would have at least liked to see extensible variants. The tuple-based syntax, also makes it rather noisy to use anonymous records as arguments (e.g. for named parameters).

If I was designing a new modern language, I would make the default types structural records and variants and use a single "new type" form for creating nominal types, when necessary. Compositional datatypes are much easier to achieve with structural records/variants (e.g. define a new enum set based on another). It is also trivial to make a structural type nominal, but not to go the other way. But having structural records as something special alongside nominal ADTs (like Flix, Elm and Purescript), does not exploit the duality and does not give a modern rethink that IMHO is needed.
I think you should make a complaint to the attorney general / CA regulator. I know the WSJ exclusively built a self service cancellation option for CA residents (as soon as you change your address to CA, the button shows up). I’m guessing if baremetrics doesn’t allow this for CA customers, they are breaking the law.
So, what would be the viable alternative? Selling user data?

Genuine question: are there business that are not viable unless you sell user data?
It becomes trvial if one uses MapTiler or Mapbox with their own styles and overlays. And even self hosting has much improved since the days of raster tiles.

Look, baremetrics people, stop digging. You’re mismanaging a really really low hanging fruit of a PR crisis. Just stop. Learn from this, listen to public outcry, change your policy, and for fuck’s sake, stop entrenching your position publicly.

One could argue they’re just following local laws.

I'm also curious.

In the old days XFCE was the go-to DE for the low spec systems back when KDE and Gnome were massive bloats, but KDE slimmed down lately due to massive development efforts to the point of using less ram than XFCE so I'm curious which would be better for a laptop with 4GB of RAM since IIRC, XFCE apps do use less memory but that's because they also do way less than the KDE ones.

Hopefully there are some up to date DE connoisseurs on HN to shed some light.

Its not like that is fundamentally different in germany. There is a socialist / green majority in the “journalists”. The only difference I see from your description is that in Germany it is not the media following the politics, but rather the politics following the media. It’s pretty messed up because there is a natural bias of anti market people inclined to join the state-run media where there is no competition. It’s ironical how every second “documentary” quickly diverts into complaining about monopolies and blaming capitalism for everything (even for the pandemic...) when they are part of one of the biggest and purest monopolies themselves...

> what about the children of parents who has good genes?

That's an absurd comparison. Children of parents who are poor and don't have connections can still compete, but simply cannot benefit from their parents trafficking influence.

If you really want to go with a sports metaphor, your example is like barring children from having a fair shot at sports because their parents aren't rubbing elbows with the coaches.

> Can we just stop building new programming languages?

We build new programming languages and we do research on programming languages because we want to offer developers better tools to write programs. We want tools that make it simpler, safer, and faster to write correct programs. We want tools that increase productivity and that aid in program maintenance.

The situation is not unlike why we would want better airplanes, better houses, or better surgical instruments.

> The correlation is that for some reason trashy people prefer pit bulls,

"For some reason"... there is no mystery here: trashy people are drawn to the premise of dog fighting.
Playing devil's advocate: "crystalline" in bulk is different from "a crystal". I think the idea is that individual crystals are "alive" in that sense, and the bulk is maybe a colonial organism. Maybe quartz crystals forming in a chunk of what will soon be granite are only "alive" in the brief period where they are still growing. When the rock solidifies, the crystal "starves" and "dies", leaving only a corpse. Melting and refreezing granite would basically be composting, using formerly alive material to foster new life.

On a similar note, a dead human is "compositionally identical" to a living one, at least for a little while, so I think that's entirely a red herring. :)
Quite a few in the list amount to "Hire someone to do some optional service for you." I mean, I know I can do all these things. Who doesn't know this? It's not that we don't know we can do these things, it just seems so wasteful to hire someone to do some thing that you (assuming you are able-bodied) can do yourself. Hire someone to "stand in line for you" or "run errands"? Are you kidding me? It's like the Anti-Frugal.

I'm a bit of a DIY obsessive, so maybe I'm just all the way on the other side of the spectrum, but I don't hire someone to do something unless I feel the task is so far outside of my comfort zone that it poses a danger to me. I usually only do it after I've tried the task myself and utterly failed. You'd be surprised what you can do yourself with just a few YouTube tutorials and a decent collection of tools. As a side effect, I've gotten pretty good at being handy around the house, managing the family's finances, repairing our cars, doing major home improvement projects including building barns and sheds, building furniture, lawn care, tree trimming, electrical, plumbing, etc. I consider developing these skills a better investment than the alternative which is perpetually needing to pay someone to do them.

And all it costs is my time, which is free.

On the contrary, there have been several ransomware attacks on hospitals in the past year. These attacks usually demand payment in bitcoin, for the exact reason that it is anonymous. With the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, this state of affairs puts lives at risk. I can see this being reason enough to declare it a significant national security imperative. Not to mention the recent nationstate hacks of the US Treasury.

The sheer volume of ransomware attacks lately has caused the US Govt to issue guidance to corporations to stop paying them [2]. But with people's lives on the line, a lot of corporations can't actually follow that guidance ethically.
