DSL slows over distance. If you're far enough out, you're basically back to dial-up speeds unless they are willing to build cabinets closer, which no North American carrier I've heard of is still doing for DSL.

BPL (Broadband over Powerline) also requires heavy investment [0]:

- Only low and medium voltage power cables can be used for access BPL.
- Signals need booster equipment to make them travel long distances.
- Transformers, circuit breakers, and surge protectors can interfere with broadband signals.

if they are not ready/interested and its essential for you, you can build it or hire someone for it an may be push to main project

I think this changes the problem significantly. A feature request is essentially asking people to put in effort for you; that shouldn't happen if you have other options. If you're in a position to build something yourself, or to pay someone to deliver a feature you need, then that should be your first choice. Alternatively, you could propose sponsoring the feature eg paying the project owners to build it.

If the project owners are open to a merging the feature in to the project once it's complete that's great, everyone benefits from your effort/money, but requesting a feature that you could build yourself feels a bit wrong to me.

In normal times, giving a talk at a conference is a good excuse to go to a conference you want to attend--and many orgs won't generally let folks attend an event if they're not doing something specific there. In the current circumstances, a lot of people are a lot less inclined to put the effort to create one more video among the doubtless thousands of videos being created for conferences. I know I'm still doing some but definitely doing fewer submittals than I would normally.

I suspect you are falling into the trap the author describes: you have your knowledge and personal experience of war, and you translate every other depiction you see of others' experience into that same experience.

What bolsters my confidence here is your last line:

> One probable universal about the universal warrior; the real challenge isn't the battlefield, it's home afterwards.

Okay, I don't have any personal experience with war. But from the conversations I've had, this is the complete opposite of the truth. There is a world of difference between Vietnam War veterans and Iraq/Afghanistan veterans. And again, there is another world of difference between either of those groups and World War II veterans. Why wouldn't there be? World War II was a war where virtually everyone of military age either fought or had close family who fought; Vietnam was an unpopular war where the bulk of the soldiers were draftees; Iraq was an unpopular war where everyone who fought volunteered to do so. The notion that the soldiers could have the same experience of "they just don't understand" is pretty unlikely.

At first blush the fact that all these searches were sent over DNS (which is plain text by default) this was a gross privacy violation. Congress has passed bills allowing ISPs to use your DNS and browsing history and sell it to 3rd parties [1].

> Python is not only non beginner friendly, it's also not C-family(java,c++,js...) friendly(assuming most developers knew some C before taking on Python).

Python is at least as close to “C-family” as JS; it's also probably not the case that most people learning Python knew some C first, since it's been fairly prevalent in introductory classes as a first language, while C is not particularly common as an introductory teaching language anymore.

Since there is more than one method to make something enjoyable, then something being enjoyable does not necessitate that all those methods were individually well executed. In fact, since enjoyability is so subjective and abstract and individual to each person, all "understood" methods of making something enjoyable could have failed, and a bunch of people could still find it enjoyable, and vice versa.

Ultimately though this is tangential. All I'm saying is that, while your average person is of course going to use "good/bad" basically synonymously with "enjoyable/unenjoyable", a professional, in my experience, uses the words "good/bad" more frequently to refer to more well defined specifics, for a broad range of professions. I only meant to explain why this website might use the term "bad" even though an individual HN user might find a lot of the art "good", and that it doesn't necessarily come down only to differences in personal taste.

(Though who knows? Maybe the website's curator just immediately thinks "I like that" or "I don't like that", and he leaves it at that when deciding what's "bad"!)

Centos Linux is Dead: A warning to the KeyCloak community
(moving the security bits up because I find it dangerous)

And the security argument is a strange one. If you never let the code "mature" then your defect count remains high. Which means there are likely exploits that can be quickly found with simple automated tools, vs being hardened enough that it actually takes real effort to find the ever more obscure cases. Which is why when you look at windows, a lot of the exploits recently are because they churned pieces of the OS that were decades old. And the "unsupported" versions of the OS weren't vulnerable. Similarly, the product I was working on a few years back dodged heartblead for the same reason. We were on a fairly old version of SSL only being patched with security updates. So, when the exploit finally became public we didn't have anything to worry about. Our version of SSL simply wasn't affected.

Its very dangerous to think that the most secure version of a product is the one that isn't battle tested because its being churned. That is just a reformation of the security through obscurity argument and assumes there aren't blackhats more than happy to hack a product and keep quiet about an exploit for years. Combined with the fact that now your hoping to randomly close these exploits through code churn just screams of a naive development model.

(comment on network effects)

I've rarely heard anyone mention any of the recent web based "innovation" as a reason to use photoshop over gimp, or even older versions of photoshop. OTOH, when I heard these discussions in the past, there were real hard reasons people didn't use gimp (color profiles?), libreoffice (document compatibility), etc. So the "innovation" needs to be something the end user finds useful, not just pretty buttons, or software subscription models.

Its obviously not enough to just appear to be a clone, there have to be real reasons to consider an alternative to overcome the network effects. When that happens you can bet people start choosing the "clone", which does in fact devalue the original offering. If a legitimate facebook , O365, etc competitor shows up you can bet people will start to switch even with the network effects of those two products. In the case of photoshop, from what i've heard a lot of people have been looking at Affinity's product. Which points to gimp still not being a proper alternative.

This isn't just software, its everything. Everyone keeps buying x86, until the day it turns out there is a cheaper/faster arm laptop. And it might not even be a change in the products themselves, the US automakers lost out in the 1970's because the market changed and they weren't as well positioned for it.
I had a job doing that involved form layout for printed forms that would get used by tens of thousands. My boss could likewise spot things off by a single pixel. At first I was annoyed, but the bigger the audience for your work, the more those details matter. I’d further say this is the polish that should be part of a “one more thing to do” attitude if you want to produce your best output. It’s all context though. Devote attention proportional to the size of the audience.

Just one example of why SPACs need to be looked at from a regulatory perspective:

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/05/chamath-palihapitiya-backed-...

In short, Clover Health is going public via a SPAC, but never disclosed it was under investigation by the DOJ.

> Clover said it decided it did not need to disclose the DOJ inquiries after consultation with its lawyers. The company did not say what the DOJ’s inquiries were about.

SPACs short-cut disclosure requirements, making it easier for companies to go public without the typical scrutiny that comes with the IPO process.

Yep, in a lot of use cases the wasm version probably is fine with the browser sandbox. But according to the readme this also targets the desktop.
I would imagine the desktop mode is native code + wgpu, as there seems to be a wgpu directory under renderer/ .

There are some scenarios when vulnerabilities in a wasm compiled program can be harmful too though. For example the web page embedding the emulated flash applet doesn't necessarily intend to give that app full access to that origin's context. For example it could exfiltrate some api keys or other security tokens of the logged in user of the containing page.

Whatever your political leaning, this is not a particularly high number considering the other public health issues the US faces. Anyone have more up to date data on that? Last source I checked was 2009 FBI data.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned here is that Homebrew forced people use Ruby to write formulas (ie packages), whereas MacPorts forced people to use Tcl. This one decision, plus hosting formulas on Github, was a major contributor to their present success.

As much as I sympathize (deeply) with all the criticism of Homebrew here on this thread -- I used to use MacPorts religiously and love it -- I don't think Homebrew took the field purely through sneaky marketing or n00b decisions alone. They leveraged the momentum of a lot of new devs coming to OS X and provided an easier path for people wanting to help out.

I hate to say it, but if this was a race (?), Homebrew won. Thankfully we all still have the choice to use MacPorts if we want, but there's no point in being mean about Homebrew at this point either.
You're probably right about Homebrew feeling more comfortable for new users.

Opinions on Homebrew may diverge with the answers to "How would you prefer to install? a) curl pipe to shell, or b) Download a DMG, double-click to install, and update your PATH." :)
Launch HN: MagicBell (YC W21) – embedded notification system for your product
Hey everyone! I am Hana, and along with my co-founder Josue, we are excited to launch MagicBell (https://magicbell.io). You can embed MagicBell in your web/mobile application to show users workflow notifications in-app and real-time. If the user is not online when you send them a notification, we can send them an email (or text). For example, a project management app can use MagicBell to show new tasks assigned to a user or tasks due soon. A code collaboration app will notify users of pull-requests that need their review. These notifications keep the workflow moving.

Building a notification system is challenging. We built robust email notifications at my last startup SupportBee [0], and it took us weeks to nail down the threading, reply by email, unsubscription links, and notification preference management. When we wanted to add an in-app inbox, I felt that we were building a mini email client into our app. A well designed in-app experience needs real-time updates and state management (read/unread/archived) apart from a lot of UI polish.

Not only do we save you months of work to begin with, but we also have an extensive product roadmap with features like email templates and grouping of notifications. Your customers will get a better experience each day without you having to invest in the development effort. Apart from customer-facing features, we plan to add a debug interface and analytics so you can get more visibility into your notifications.

Our embeddable notification inbox is written using React and MobX, and we use Ably.io for real-time updates. We offer a React SDK [1] that lets you build a custom interface, and we use Storybooks to test our UI. Fun fact: you can see the entire catalog of React components we offer [2]. We extracted the network layer of our embeddable into a Javascript package so customers not using React can use that to build a custom interface [3]. We'll work on Vue & React-Native SDK next. Our backend is hosted on AWS.

Thank you for reading. Please try out our product and send us your feedback, questions, and ideas. If you have built a notification system at work, we’d love to hear about your experience!
