I can't speak for your computing experience, but for mine:

There are significant differences in performance, admittedly SSDs temper these differences but there are plenty of systems with large HDDs. This isn't an abstract performance benchmark thing, I feel it when doing operations on large numbers of small files.

There are significant differences in features that impact how you use the system. For instance, sometimes I like to backup a directory I'm working in (typically before some funky git operation), normally that can be done with cp or tar, but that's slow. Much faster is a manual filesystem(/volume manager) snapshot. But I have to remember to do that. Much more convenient would be if I didn't have to explicitly create a snapshot, which HAMMER would offer me.

All non-temporary HAMMER filesystems in DragonFly by default automatically maintain 60 days worth of 1-day snapshots and 1-day worth of fine-grained (30-second) snapshots. - https://www.dragonflybsd.org/features/#index3h2

What's outrageous? A french minister threatening to cut power to the island, french trawlermen blocking the landing of fish caught by british fishermen and to blockade the island of Jersey or two fisheries protection boats being dispatched to make sure the island's ports remain open?

The cause? Asking seventeen (17!) french fishing vessels for evidence they've fished those fisheries in the last 5 years.

I don't think I'm finding outrage in the same thing as you are.
Indeed, not the best name, but according to the README, the reason for chosing it was the following:

"The language is named after Pierre Catala, a professor of law who pionneered the French legaltech by creating a computer database of law cases, Juris-Data. The research group that he led in the late 1960s, the Centre d’études et de traitement de l’information juridique (CETIJ), has also influenced the creation by state conselor Lucien Mehl of the Centre de recherches et développement en informatique juridique (CENIJ), which eventually transformed into the entity managing the LegiFrance website, acting as the public service of legislative documentation."

I'm wondering what could result of the combination of smart contracts on a blockchain and this legal language.
It's a mistake to consider the law to be something absolute and logically-programmable.
To build a product, I look to see if I can get something out in a 2 week so I can at least dogfooding it. The purpose is I should be able to use it daily asap to keep my momentum and solve my own pain point. Without seeing the pain, I'll easily lost motivation and give up. I also try to pick a product idea that emphasize my strong skill and less depend on my weak spot.

A case study, for my email forwarding app https://hanami.run

1. Create a PoC without any UI. As in, backend only, no database, just JSON so I can configure it. the app boot, load data from that JSON file. If I need to change anything, I edit that JSON file, The app reload it.

2. It works. Awesome. The core of business work. It's useful to my daily work. I can hook up domain to it and forward email

3. Started to get on front-end. Get a few friend, ask for their feedback. Setup a weekly sync with them. This is important. It forced to make progress

4. Get a google docs for what I should ship and what I achieve that week.

5. Continue use it daily. See pain point. Keep improving. Example, I never though I'll log email. But eventually I added that features and people love it. I never though I'll need an API for email forwarding but turn out many users want ability to curl and get email in JSON format

As you can see, my product is heavily depended on my pain point. Without me having a need to use that product myself, I think it's hard to build.

So my process is always to look for what I wish should existed and go do it, weekly sync, have a few friends to give you feedback/beta tester every week, congratulate small wins.
According to LibHunt's popularity index, it's the 28th most popular language https://www.libhunt.com/index#clojure (ahead of Elixir that is 40th).

It is less than 50th position on Tiobe's index https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ (which is a bit more reputable than LibHunt's)
>Imagine reddit where the goal was to earn upvotes. That would look a lot like spamming low effort memes. Maximum possible return for effort. If your upvotes are money, I think that's what you'll tend to get.

You basically described reddit as it is today.

On hypothetical crypto-reddit, on the other hand, spamming low-effort memes to farm hypothetical karma-coins would cause inflation; and if hypothetical crypto-reddit failed to combat spam, that would debase its currency in comparison with competing platforms, causing people to preferably post elsewhere.

Oh, and admins tampering with posts wouldn't be a thing, because they wouldn't own the only copy of the database.

I don't think EU will be able to put any pressure on China with food.

China still has a lot of different levers in case they lack food. Remember that the US deal actually forced them to buy american agricultural products.

They also banned most of Australia food imports since they asked for an international investigation on SARS-CoV-2 origins. They could just lift this ban and Australian politics and farmers would jump on the occasion.

There are so many countries who are willing to sell no matter what and no matter who as long as the price is good, and China has a lot of money.

Elixir seems to be pretty popular here on HN these days.
"Local storage is intended to be cache. Nothing more. If you have something worth preserving beyond 7 days of inactivity, put it on the damn server and reload it when you have to."

How about the idea that not everything must live in the cloud?

I like apps that keep my data on my phone.

Or when you use your phone in areas with bad connections?

Say an outdoor app, you have on your phone with lots of data you specifically wanted for this area. In case you need it. But now you have to remember to use it regulary, or you have to walk up an mountain to get parts of your old state again.

There is a difference between temporary cache and intentionally saved data. Even from webapps.

But this just means a further push to develope a "real app" inside apples walled garden, for a proper functioning app.

(assumed this auto delete of all pwa cache is actually the case, and it would be allright with me, if there are exceptions for "installed PWA's")
"Let's operate before the patient gets better" or something close was an in-half-jest quote I have read in one of the articles linked here on HN (it was about how surgery does not directly heal people, but makes conditions ideal for the body to repair itself).

Now if I could find its source...

Edit: a search revealed that it was about knee surgeries that do not always make things better.

Ah. That's not really physically possible with those we have here - short of wrecking the thing or picking the lock.

I don't see why anyone would though. A bunch of stolen outgoing mail is going to contain nothing but boredom. Certainly nothing you could turn into easy cash.

Though I could picture vandals throwing firecrackers or something into them. In fact I remember something about a PO box burning down being on the local news some time ago. It certainly happens.

- Tucows hands over control of domain and per gag order doesn't inform retail registrar / domain owner

Crafty.
Do it! A forest is wonderful and buying a small lot does not cost that much.

But if in France, stay below the 40ha limit to not have to deal with massive costs of having your forest to be managed with validated planning every X years etc. which makes it very hard to keep "wild" areas in it (even more paperwork!).
It's not only in the US. In EU it's the same with some countries worse than others. There are doctors which do not pay for their vacation and prescribe almost only expensive medicines because "they are better as generics". This corruption is helped by the fact that a lot of doctors work in small clinics so they are easier to bribe.
JVM and .NET are the top runtimes with best in game GC implementatios, JIT compilers, JIT code cache, and monitoring tools for production code.

In fact plenty of them, given that there are multiple implementation to choose from.

Gitlab used to have their geographic location factors public. They're no longer public but here's how it looked before they made it private: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/blob/e7e3aeff...

From talking to friends that work at different companies there's also been a movement to simplify geographic location pay to be around 5% to 15% less than HCOL cities for the rest of the US or simply have no localization factors at all.
Plus companies like Google, with their 20% Time policy, actually encourages their employees to try it out. And they understand their own problems better. So they're very likely to have a head start on anything that is easy and likely.

The acquisitions are usually projects that have been better executed externally, like YouTube and Android.

D2 was a single player game, right? The multiplayer success always felt accidental to me.
I would like to nuance your statement a little bit. I agree that learning a new framework alongside building your project is a bad idea. But if there is a framework that you know well and it fits the project then definitely use it.

I have my standard stack of backend/frontend/database/infra tools that I know inside out and fit most web projects. So whenever I have a new project idea it takes me 20 minutes to get hello world from frontend through backend to db and back. And then I can start building using the FE/BE frameworks I already know.

Edit: I now see you mentioned this in the second paragraph so my comment is redundant.
The mind is the world though. If the mind is distorted, the world is distorted. They can't really be considered separate, because for that being their mind is the true reality.

In order for this happens, we really need an unified earthquake early warning network in entire west coast connecting from BC, Canada all the way to Mexico. It seems that all the existing systems are only regional so far. At the same time, we probably need to drastically increase the density of the seismometers.

All in all, the earthquake early warning system in North America still lies far behind to say the system in Japan.
Depends. In a perfect world it doesn't matter. However in this imperfect world it is nice to know that there is an automatic backup of your files from a few days ago, and if a hard drive crashes you just replace it (requires paying for redundant hard drives!). The ability to add more space to an existing filesystem is nice just in case.

There are a lot of other features that might or might not matter to you. If the above don't it is because you haven't been burned yet in life. (Or you use one of several other filesystems that support those features)
The big advantage of Firefox Send was that it was hosted by Mozilla, and I could trust that Mozilla wouldn't have any backdoor in the service.

When the same project is hosted by someone that I don't know, I can't be sure that they won't modify it to peek at the files (I'm not going to perform a full code audit on every page load).
what do you think about wise!
Does the Pugent Sound have anything like the Tualatin Basin?

Long ago a giant flood from the columbia river gorge filled a large basalt valley with hundreds of feet of clay silt. Today there are many hundreds of thousands of people living and working on top of the clay silt, including the entirety of Nike world headquarters and the majority of Intel's fabs.

When the earthquake hits, the entire basin is predicted to liquify, just like this:

Good thing is that I made no such implication. It would be equally disingenuous however to imply that his school of philosophy would be completely isolated from the experience of his formative years as a slave.
Nooo node/electron should be enough for everyone.

ItemFix FAQs are more informative on what is succeeding LiveLeaks

https://www.itemfix.com/faq

"What exactly is Itemfix?
Itemfix is a website that lets users post and edit ("fix") video - , image - and audio files ("items").
Any registered user can turn existing items into "fixes"."

"What is a fix?
A fix can be a video, image or audio file generated out of one or more items that exist in the ItemFix system. An example of a "fix" would be a video with added captions, a gif image generated out of a video item, or a meme created through one of our "fix templates".

Sounds like a mix between YouTube and TikTok/Instagram, as in, video hosting with democratized editing. Wouldn't be surprised if they went for an app after a while.

My opinion is that the reality-check video host we need, is getting replaced by the meme video host we want. More holes to dig our societal heads into and abstract ourselves from harsher realities.

Hosting LiveLeak must've been really tough, can't blame them for moving on to something easier and more financially attainable, but I hope someone will pick up a similar torch.
A few months ago there had been multiple articles about this behaviour but i really don‘t remember the details anymore. Does anyone know a writeup with a detailled explanation to understand how it is happening and tests to see whether your systems are affected?
It's a long long process to answer your question.
The best thing to do is to get started.

I am currently building https://textgun.io to integrate SMS
with zapier ( which integrates with 3,000 apps). Yes, it's already has been done with other SMS vendors, but I am looking to disrupt twilio's greedy pricing... It's currently in beta on zapier for those who asked .
I don't think it's about it's dynamicism but more about it being functional. Plenty of super popular dynamic languages out there.
I think that's also what keeps elixir from becoming something more mainstream, most people come from OOP and are used to thinking about programming that way.
as these things go they will create the illusion of improvement and the chances of things going wrong will be reduced in frequency but when they happen it'll be injustice at cloud-scale. These things have a long fat tail.

Before I'm getting excited I want to know how it will be used in the developing world. E.g. perhaps we'll see an automatic smart-judge that goes from Cellebrite evidence directly to machine based torture and public execution with some blockchain sprinkled-on for good measure. See the latest dystopian piece on how Technology helps the developing world fight crime: https://cpj.org/2021/05/equipped-us-israeli-firms-botswana-p...
Pyston has been around for way longer, and even its post-Dropbox relaunch (v2) predates Cinder’s open sourcing by a lot, and has seen steady development. The only thing you can argue is they cut the v2.2 release in response to Cinder, which doesn’t really mean much.
Germany sets ambitious new carbon emissions target
When something bad happened, especially during ISIS and the Jihad John period, or just an accident getting press - I used to rush over to LiveLeak whenever (I for some reason) wanted the real footage. A curiosity or guilty pleasure of some sort perhaps. I never understood why I did it, because quite often they just made me feel bad.

Regardless, in the later years they seems to not have incidents so I stopped going to LiveLeak. It felt like they stopped getting the real stuff, or they just didnt publish everything anymore and did some cencoring. So this is not a surprise to me.
Thanks a lot for putting these "unintuitive things". I'd really love to see a longer-form writing from you elaborating on them.

Law already is a programming language. It just has (deliberate) compiler issues

Where law is unclear, The drafters of the law were unclear what they wanted or could not agree what they wanted or were unwilling to explicitly state what they wanted.

I don't think we need to rewrite our laws in software friendly language.

We shall soon enough be needing to have law and software hand in hand - the obvious example is the self driving car and trolley problem - a car sees child ahead in the road, and cannot brake in time so must swerve, but swerving will kill the driver (or a old man on the sidewalk).

That must be explicitly coded into the car ahead of time - and that will need to be a regulation / law of the jurisdiction because no car company will just choose.

And so we are presented with the perfect problem - it will demand democratic involvement, it is impossibly hard ethically, and it will need the software to be inspectable / verified before and after the incident.

If we solved those problems then the recent Post Office debacle would have different .
> I like apps that keep my data on my phone.

I like apps that act like apps, and sites that act like sites. There's a reason we don't drive-by install apps on our phone just by clicking a link. But you do drive-by install site local storage on your phone by clicking a link. So you need a way to clean those up at the very least.

> But this just means a further push to develope a "real app" inside apples walled garden, for a proper functioning app.

You can also wrap a page as an app on the App Store if that's what you want. And store infinite data for infinite time. So everything is already possible.

So you don't have to develop an app in the walled garden, you just have to submit it to the walled garden, and not do something horrible using the native APIs, and you're done.
> I'm thinking mobile apps are a thing of the past.

Do you think this is the future or actually happening right now? Because as an iOS developer I've seen zero reduction in work since close to a decade. What I have not seen, is people favoring web apps.

I mean I could be totally wrong but, it is my perspective at least.

great article!

just have one suggestion:

noopener is an actual security issue, the opener object is dangerous!

noreferrer is something we should do for the privacy of our users.

nofollow is for us developers to avoid our properties being connected to other properties (links are not endorsements)

maybe think about expanding that section of the docs :)

actually,
rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" should be the standard and opt-outed from.
imho, rel="opener referrer follow" would have been the right thing to do.
They don't need this along Cascadia. All of the major population centers are 60 miles inland (in between the coastal and cascade mountain ranges). There are just very small town on the coasts and the coastal mountain range rises very quickly from the coast. You can get to high ground from just about anywhere on the coast fairly quickly.
Think of a product name. Buy the domain name. Launch a cloud linux server, install web server, database, application server. Configure it all up to talk to each other. Build the user creation and auth system. Implement email system for user emails. Start building the hardest bits of the application first, try to get a minimal end to end implementation of the system, iterate over the minimal version improving stuff until it’s holding together as a full application, tune, polish, do the deployment stuff.... domain name, google analytics, backups, open the firewall launch. Wonder how the fuck to get users, shut it down, build something else.
It's a very interesting question. The paradigm shift from animal-powered to machines happened in many industries and not just transportation, but especially agriculture.

Can you find cases from other industries where the paradigm has evolved further from machines? E.g. GM plants that produce their own pesticides.

The post I was replying to is about what you send, though.
btrfs is used by orgs like facebook in a very limited way, and afaik not for big multi-disk storage pools with raid-style devices like ZFS is generally used.

btrfs is still very rough for things like raid5/6 (where you want to prioritise available capacity), and unfortunately there are lots of reports of recent corruption (even on single disk FSes) every time we have a thread about it on HN. I'm one of those people with recent experience of corruption with btrfs + compression.

ZFS isn't flawless, and the license situation means distribution is more awkward on Linux - except for Ubuntu, who have a different view to other distros on what is allowed with it legally. This means that root on ZFS is a real pain on many distros, and possibly not something you should really do, but ZFS has really solid multi-disk pool support & working + battletested support for things like RAIDZ.

But this isn't linux, this is FreeBSD. The license issues with CDDL & GPL don't apply here, so FreeBSD has native ZFS support. It works well (especially in 13, where it's up to date with the main OSS OpenZFS work), and the installer will quite happily assist you with root on ZFS.
Instead of it being a default feature, I wonder if this makes more sense as a default in Incognito/Private browsing mode?
Scala can be enjoyable but can be a major pain as well. Look no further than the de-facto standard build tool (sbt).
Same as in other industries, use something else to cover the costs, best if there is incentive to keep that service alive. For instance, a porn site like xvideos could take over the hosting and moderation.
