No, go back about a week to the thread here on esbuild: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26399377 Esbuild is a go-based tool that takes the place of babel, webpack, tsc, etc. and is much, much faster than webpack. Vite adds a nicer dev experience on top of esbuild (hot module reloading, etc.).
Good idea! Just removed the app.

HTTP is effectively considered legacy by the big web actors these days. More and more APIs are HTTPS-only (often for good reasons) and the "insecure" warnings you get from using HTTP become more intrusive every year.

The trajectory is pretty clear, the long term plan is to phase out HTTP completely. And I'm not against it, but I need a solution for LAN devices, and it doesn't exist at the moment because the big web actors do everything in the cloud these days and they don't care about this use case.

Stallman isn't a group or class of protected people - he's an individual and actions have consequences, and unfortunately I think you'll probably see this is not a case where those consequences have an effect on RMS.

I haven't done the smart phone one (though I really should, the only reason I don't is that I'd miss Conversations, the messaging app I use), but I did give up on social media years ago and had a similar experience.
When I first deleted Facebook I did have a few friends who would constantly get mad at me for not being at movie night or something then realize they never invited me because they just spammed an invite out on Facebook. This actually offended me somewhat as much as it offended them that I wasn't there: you care so little about our friendship that you couldn't even be bothered to make sure I had RSVPed or invite me personally? But after a while people got used to it and it stopped changing anything except that I felt better and was less angry day to day.

I only recently went back, but instead of any of the big networks I went with a Mastodon account from social.coop. It's similar to Twitter, but the lack of retweet-comments makes me less likely to make snarky replies to things then feel bad about it and wonder why I said something I wouldn't normally say in real life afterwards.

It's not ideal, and it shows an alert to inform the user of the fake certificate, but it works and unlocks the https only APIs on a local offline environment. It's permanent until you switch user profile or click on the alert on the left of the address bar and reenable the warnings for that domain.

Half of the ecosystem wouldn't exist if people were scared of litigation and/or not copying code/ideas from others.
This is one of the things that I like about the expanse series. When people first start moving out to alien ecosystems, they specifically go into how alien viruses etc are probably not going to be a problem. The metaphor they use is "mining" basically. Where they're not concerned that people will get infected, but they're concerned that some organism will find out that people are full of some resource that the organism can use.

And in fact they bump into some sort of algae that lives in the atmosphere that really likes the saline mixture that makes up most of the liquid in our bodies.

You forget it's all part of business. If you hired an external contractor you would not say a word for demanding their money. And the price of the contractor grows by a lot relative to how much and how soon you need their work. Remember, you need their help, not the other way around. A contractor on bad terms with you would not help at all. How is a former employee any different? Do you think you become family after paying for their work?

If you do not have the money to pa for someone's services you cannot complain. You say you have a company? Have you ever let a client get your products by paying less than their value or nothing at all? Work itself is a product too.

I think the point was that the user's comments didn't add much value to the site. If you don't have anything of value to say, then don't say it. Reddit is probably a better platform if you just want to say "nice", or something.
This blog post gives a bit more information on that: https://svelte.dev/blog/whats-the-deal-with-sveltekit, though the section on Snowpack is out of date. Basically, SvelteKit is serverless-first (whereas Sapper made you choose between a Node server and prerendered HTML), and because it's powered by Vite has a much nicer developer experience.

It also fixes a few of the rough design edges in Sapper. This migration guide gives you an idea of the scope of the changes: https://kit.svelte.dev/migrating
What is SvelteKit? The linked page assumes I already know and have just been waiting for an announcement.

I have heard a bit about Svelte. I love the analogy with spreadsheets, where original spreadsheets reevaluated every cell whenever any cell changed. Modern spreadsheets maintain a dependency graph, so when something changes, only the direct dependencies are even evaluated. If any of them change, then only their dependencies are evaluated, etc., recursively. So React's repeated full virtual DOM diff at runtime vs. Svelte's focused dependency graph, created at compile time. Very interesting.

But that's Svelte, or at least I think it is. So what is SvelteKit?

There's a lot I like here. I agree that the major toxin has been mobile social media apps, and I deleted mine a few months ago.

Divorcing the smartphone completely is doable but I'm not sure I want that pain. That's mainly because of niche apps I depend on, contactless payments, and it's my primary camera, not because I talk on the phone with people shudder. The smart watch is worth looking into, but still would need the niche apps and the contactless payments and the camera, and a GoPro would not fill my camera needs.

When my current phone is paid off I do intend to look into alternate ideas like this because There's Got To Be A Better Way (tm).

While I dont know anything about the RMS case (first heard about it now), your comment reminds me about the paradox of tolerance. While it's easy to cry hypocrisy when intolerant people aren't tolerated by those in favor of tolerance, it's needed in order to not let intolerance win.

If anything it's more hypocrisy by the intolerant. "I don't have to tolerate X, but you have to tolerate me" like some catch22.

Something like less than 1% of trans people regret transition, and of those half of them regret it because of social costs, i.e., bigotry from transphobes, and another big chunk regret that they transitioned as binary when they were in fact non-binary or vice versa. Fundamental to your argument is the idea that we should not trust trans people about their lives or their feelings. It’s bigotry.

Whether you’re aware of it or not, your argument is disingenuous, unscientific, gaslighting propaganda pushed by bigots, and it has the direct result of harming trans people.
I considered that, but I think at the moment there's no concept of IP address for web certificates, it's all based on domain names as far as I know.

It doesn't mean it's not doable of course, but I could understand if it make people uneasy since it means that the same domain and the same certificate would behave differently depending on what it resolves to.

It may be an interesting solution to consider though. That would definitely make my life easier.

The way I understand it is it's an evolution of sapper to be more versatile, especially with respect to the backend. Out of the box it can work more easily with serverless providers that give you static file hosting + some kind of basic API gateway and serverless function platform. So you can write full stack client and server-side code all using the same framework (like you can with sapper). But the key difference from sapper is that you're not stuck using a node.js backend, with sveltekit you can swap in different backend implementations, like one targeting a serverless/lambda system.
I have a perspective you may find interesting. First I don’t support or attack trans people specifically. I just think people should live and let live so in that regard I do support trans. I have and do socialise with trans people on occasion and we get along fine. With that out of the way I would like to highlight that through ignorance I have many questions about trans. These questions stem from purely curious thought though I have identified that some of them may be considered offensive to trans people. There is no forum in the world where I can ask these questions without it devolving into a mud slinging contest. I’ve seen it numerous times on various platforms. I literally don’t know enough about trans to form an opinion and have no way of educating myself but am somehow required to explicitly support trans. It’s an impossible situation. I defer to benefit of the doubt but I could never conclusively get behind trans rights because I’m too uneducated on the topic. This represents a fundamental limit for the movement IMO.
I sincerely hope someone from Apple sees this post on HN and escalate this to resolve the issue.

I'm a Myanmar citizen and I have my mother and other relatives living with fear there. The only way I can talk to my mother every day (to check in and see if she is okay) through internet VoIP calls (e.g., we use Viber and sometimes, Messenger if it's not overloaded/slow) is via VPN. I just realized that it's very likely ProtonVPN that she has been using (She refers to it as the 'VPN'. She is not a tech-savvy person, but the tech-savvy people there shared info via Facebook so she was able to figure out how to use the VPN to get around the internet restrictions).
The point of view of managers and business owners is well known. Work is not a new concept. You get what you pay for. Nothing is owed to you. Work? Tough luck, you have to pay for it too. On a free market, no less. I don't understand why business owners think the rules are different for them than the rest.

Let's see who u-turns first.
I'm partial to the PETAL stack (Phoenix, Elixir, Tailwind, Alpine.js, LiveView) but the real answer is "anything you're most familiar with".
I think this summary conflates at least four different concepts:

* "Hate speech" is an ill-defined or incoherent concept

* People will never agree about what belongs in this category

* No one can be trusted to make an authoritative decision about this

* U.S. law, unlike that of European countries, has never included such a category of unprotected speech, and it would not be constitutionally permissible for the government to prohibit it
How does this not produce gnashing of teeth and rage in people? Seriously, what the fuck is up with this holier-than-thou virtue signaling bullshit? Good to have a list of people that apparently approve of this kind of thing so I know what to avoid.
This is why no one has ever been fired from any job, ever.
But no one has the legal right to be on the leadership of the FSF? He's not being charged with crimes as far as I know
Yeah, it's insane to give them credit for that though.

The Motivation Behind Systemd

That’s up to us to decide. I have said some pretty insane things, and I often don’t get downvotes.

If we reach scale, HN is doomed in general. Until then, we should pick the organic route.

Most people are lurkers, so if they even had something to say, it would be one liners.
One thing that people who compile these lists never seem to take into account is that the flagged discussions are only interesting to the extent that HN remains an interesting community, and that would not be the case if the site weren't moderated and users didn't flag off-topic submissions and flamewars.

The better HN does at fulfilling its mandate, the higher-quality the audience becomes, and the more people want to use it for other things (usually a marketing agenda or a political/ideological agenda). Often these people complain that the site isn't available to them for these purposes and demand that the filtration system be dismantled (censorship! suppression!). But if the filtration system didn't exist, HN wouldn't be a desirable target in the first place. It would in fact suck, because the best users—who come here to avoid getting barraged by marketing and political/ideological agendas—would have left. In other words, if you understand the dynamics correctly then these arguments refute themselves.
If you call me and I don't answer, but text shortly after, and you call me again, you're just being a jerk.
The only reason researchers and documentary makers don't perfectly hide themselves is due to how expensive and limited technology is (in Planet Earth they had to setup a hidden blind and stake out an area for months to get the proper footage undetected which is incredibly expensive to do). I imagine if you're a space-faring race capable of visiting planets on a whim, hiding yourself from rather primitive civilizations is trivial, so why wouldn't they?
> No one is saying transition is a "regrettable outcome".

Actually a lot of people say that, cf rhetoric about "a lifetime of hormones and surgery". As someone who has had surgeries and expects to be on hormones for the rest of their life, I think what I did to my body was good, not bad.
We can scale any problem into a worldwide issue if we use our imagination. But at some point, a local issue is just a local issue.

Don't believe everything the media tells you. Tech news sites only report on what they read in public sources, which leads them to wildly inaccurate conclusions like the idea that objections to Stallman started with his comments about Epstein, or that there was no objection to him from inside the free software community.

Always the same arguments, hilarious.
Crazy to think it’s dilution now that more atypical companies are funded? I also have genuine concerns with the quality of evaluation in bio fields but when we make criticism that can also be explained by bias then we critics have a burden to clarify if we gave enough thought to that possibility that we are just offended by the new.
>Capital efficiency paves the way for low-slippage trade execution that can surpass both centralized exchanges and stablecoin-focused AMMs

I'm skeptical of this. There was a story a few days ago[1] pointing out that AMM like these are vulnerable to getting front-runned, since there's a gap between when you broadcast your transaction and when it gets confirmed by the network. Other traders (especially with cooperation with miners) can exploit this to front-run your trades. Is this fixed in V3?
