Webflow HTML on its own is useless because it is not dynamic. You still have to set up code snippets inside the markup so it can display the menu, or post and page information stored in the database or flat files of whatever CMS you're using.

Webflow CMS solves that problem, but with vendor lock-in.

The Master's degree is already a "professional" counterpart to STEM PhD's. So if folks are dropping out of graduate studies with "only" a MS in a STEM field, it's not clear why this should be considered a problem, or a signal of "abuse".
Most of those things are good, but they address symptoms more than root causes I think.

The root cause is that platforms like Twitter rely on engagement (and maybe more importantly, growth of said engagement) for their lifeblood.

When that's the case, the incentive will always be to increase engagement at all costs and nothing drives engagement like flamewars and other lowest common denominator garbage.

Additionally, as long as the social currency is "how much other members of the userbase like your posts" you'll wind up with either a single hivemind or multiple warring factions IMO (e.g. conservatives vs. liberals on FB)

HN manages to keep its discourse level fairly high because of this, I believe. HN does not need to grow nor generate revenue directly. A Twitter-alike, curated as strictly as HN, might work. It might even be able to turn a profit, if the goal was sustainable profit and not some impossible dream of unbounded growth concocted by investors wanting the next trillion-dollar hit.

I think there is a certain lack of imagination you show when you say that having a good, immediately reference able working knowledge of general data structures is a prerequisite of being a good programmer.

I'm not a particularly good programmer, but I think I would never be particularly good in your estimation, because I generally remember where I read something, rather than the matter in detail. This is obviously more efficient, as you always have books available when you're doing actual work, but isn't always that great for extremely broad quizzes over a broad range of subjects.
"dv"???
Widevine is the first DRM to be really open to be ported. They suck the least of all DRM systems. This is the DRM used in the Chrome browser and Firefox. I think it would be possible (not easy, or logical, but possible) that Serenity Browser gets Widevine at some point.
I don't understand why it would be called a warp drive then. If it doesn't cause movement it's not driving anything.
It’s probably not so much deliberate complexification, as reluctant simplification. The system will become complex all by itself when there is little pressure to streamline it.
It is a hash of executables, not files. It does include shell scripts.

The intent seems to be malware prevention, but yes, the implementation is terrible from a privacy perspective. Far better would be a local bloom filter or similar.

But the bit about Windows being more respectful of privacy is not correct, or at least substantially more complicated. For instance, if you run 'full' telemetry, Microsoft can, in fact, pull your documents from your machine and execute things on it remotely, something I've seen no indication Apple does.

While I don't disagree, for anyone whose taxes really are just a W-2 and a few 1099s, no changes in residency, dependents, etc., filling out their taxes is pretty straightforward.
So what are companies supposed to call their products? Would you propose they just call this "Data Security Solution"?
Found this interesting from the FAQ:

> "Why don't you support anything made by Google or Apple?"

> At this time, we are reliant on both Google and Apple to be listed in their respective app stores. As such, we have been advised that in order to remain in good standing we should not offer support for these services.

What a disturbing reality these developers are up against. Even though this is a big limitation, the project is wonderful!
> Yes, the USA is one of the few countries that do this.

Along with Eritrea and North Korea.
Yes this has the ring of truth, I went through a very similar experience spending some time working in France. Totally legit, paid by my company in another country and hosted by a French company for a short placement.

Total bureaucratic fail, the French company just told me the specific visa was not going to happen, so I cut my stay to fit the tourist limits and went on that visa.
Well, you could get your news from news sites directly rather than following them on Twitter! Then you're very unlikely to see stupid replies. (But choose news sites that either don't have comments at all or at least hide them by default.)

My Twitter experience isn't nearly as good as it was some years ago, to be sure, but I follow fairly few people outside the "friends of friends" perimeter and rarely follow people who are given to performative outrage, even if they are people I generally agree with. While I do block people occasionally, I'm more free with "mute temporarily", "mute forever" and, importantly, "turn off retweets" -- that can have an almost magically cleansing effect on your timeline.

This sentence doesn’t make any sense.
Sure, but like I said, having some JS support is one thing, building a fast JS engine is another. The same goes for canvas, I mean, you have to realize, there is WebGL support on the web now, but also the Web Audio API, WASM, etc. It never stops growing. There's even talk about adding machine learning features to WASM.

Again, this isn't to minimize the accomplishment, this is great, it's just to say, while building a hobbyist browser must be fun for sure, and I'm sure this browser can be useful to browse many websites out there, particularly if said websites intentionally restrict which HTML features they use. However, it's probably not realistic to think you could compete with the commercial browsers. They have dozens of people who have been working full-time on those projects for two decades and they are constantly adding new features.

I think if Andreas Kling was here, he would probably agree. I'm sure his goal was never to replace Chrome/Firefox or compete with them, but rather to learn, educate, and have fun. I congratulate him on his success and for reaching the milestone of being able to sustain himself from his passion project.

Borrowing rates are just too low, and banks are letting people and businesses lever up way beyond reasonable levels.

Short term rentals are lucrative. Owners can earn many multiples of their costs per month on the short term rental market. Significantly more lucrative than traditional long term rental properties.

...and finally, the ridiculous bonus depreciation rules.

Borrow at low rates, secure cash flow into the future, and write off 100% of eligible improvements the year you spend. Yeah, no shit the housing market is going ballistic.

With the amount of money printing being done globally, and interest rates breaking the zero bound, I am not surprised that investment goods have risen in price. Inflating the monetary supply has a habit of raising prices. The rest of the economy may just be lagging behind the investable goods in price.
I’ve made this error and will admit to being utterly baffled the first time I hit it.

Grandma’s Tube TV Is the Hottest Gaming Tech
It doesn't just apply to the web though - it can even apply to OS design. On the web it's usually (ab)used to leverage users as the metric of whether something is failing, but in theory fail fast is just about learning that something isn't working through any means - whether that be user reports, automated tests or proofs of concept.

Additionally, at least where Facebook is concerned and IIRC, they actually do heavily utilize out-of-app data in their mobile app. There is a good deal of code, but a lot of the UI ends up being tweaked by data that's being served to the client.
Very surprising that's your takeaway. Sure twitter has shitbags but it is probably the only social media platform I engage with. It is a treasure trove of information and insights by folks I normally would not know about.

Twitter is a huge space and your experience comes down to what your bubble on Twitter is. The self development/Indie hacker/Tech/Devs/AI/Product/Life Lessons bubble, while still pretentious, at least is way better than the Celebrity/Cancel culture/Outrage bubble.
This exact problem is why immigration is so heavily supported by liberals around the world. Europe has slowing birth rates, so they need large numbers of immigrants to find growth. The issue is a bit more acute there than in the US, but we will run into this sooner than later.
It's generally aimed at being run on QEMU. But it can be installed on bare metal at your own risk. This [1] mentions:

"Swarmed for hours" but no images/videos available?
But what about vertical farming? It should continue to get more efficient.
I like that idea! It could be a helpful way to gather feedback directly from your users and maybe could even function as a way to do support.

Right now, the tool is focused on helping creators iterate and communicate feedback on website and web apps with their team.

Ultimately, I want to create "the new digital scratch paper for the web." That vision would include both users and creators.

Allowing users to contribute could bring user-centered and participatory design to a new level!
This issue has been discussed for decades over and over and there are still people like you claim that I'm wrong.

I am not wrong. The runtime of the Adacore Community edition is under GPL, as are many libraries included in the Adacore edition that are not included in the FSF edition. Your binaries will be under the GPL. (Technically speaking, you could compile executables with this version of GNAT that are not under GPL by writing your own runtime. Practically, this is pretty much impossible and nobody has ever done it.)

The FSF edition allows you to compile executables without license encumbering, because it is licensed under the mGPL.
I use cat and awk in my build system. I can imagine bugs in either that I wouldn't notice in general that would compromise my application. They are off the wall enough that I don't think they have ever happened, but my application is an embedded system that has the ability to kill people so I'm a little paranoid. (not so much that I don't use awk in my build system where it is a useful tool)
I think the thing with tourist visas is that you can’t work for a local company. (Also you might need to get paid in a non-local bank account.) To work for a local company you need a work visa.

In some ways, a standard tourist is still working for their foreign company, they just are using their allotment of get-paid-for-doing-nothing days. Likewise, a guy who wants to workation for a week still is effectively a tourist. At some point you seem less touristy, which is probably why tourist visas are typically around 90 days.
I don't agree with that. I think often hours in, the top comments often get more offensive here. Not less. The garbage floating to the bottom is not my experience here.

> In general, the HN system (tech+mods+community) rewards thoughtful content and penalizes shallow nonsense

I don't see this happening on HN. The shallow nonsense isn't the problem, it's the hateful opinions and "carefully reasoned, smart sounding" racism that is the problem. Calling it shallow nonsense makes it sound like no big deal or low effort hate posts. But that's not what I'm talking about.

People say the worst things here but they use a large vocabulary and so it seems to get a pass. The hate here is very similar to the hate I see elsewhere and often it is much much worse here than on Twitter, in my personal experience.
I loathe all ads, so HN is great in that aspect. The design is good with its beige and orange, very simple no pretentiousness. Also the community is smart and usually thoughtful in both replies and posts. Its really the only 'social media' I participate in.
My 2 cents on it is that this isn't a bubble. It's just massive inflation that hasn't arrived at the consumer just yet. The pandemic created a massive problem for economies, but that problem existed pretty much globally, so we didn't see any big shifts between countries. But what resulted was that every government worldwide created completely bonkers amounts of liquidity out of thin air and injected it into the markets so the economies stayed afloat.

The good news is: They pretty much succeeded with that. We're all still here despite revenue generation for whole industries being frozen for more than a year.

The bad news is: All that liquidity mostly ended up in just a few hands, and now it needs to go somewhere: The recipients at the end of the chain keep outbidding each other for a finite supply of value-keeping assets. Everybody is flush with cash with no place to park it.

It may look like a "bubble of everything", but it's just the biggest increase of monetary supply we've ever seen in a long time.

What to take from there and what will happen next, I don't know though. The usual relief valve of raising interest rates won't work anymore without making the debt level quickly unmanageable for governments. Usually I have a hunch on what will happen next, but this time I'm stumped.

I also may be completely wrong.
Which is the other reason to pay way too much money to an accountant. So you can ask them questions about this sort of thing. (Though you get to obscure edge cases and accountants may not know all the ins and outs of international tax consequences.)
I don't know that I'd hold up HTTP as an example of the way forward. ;-)

That said, the TLS v1.3 thing has been interesting. I tend to look at it more as a case of projecting one security context onto everyone else's security context, and the consequent problems involved. Security is tough like that.
I totally agree with the author’s point about driving decisions with empirical evidence. It’s really useful to have in mind reasonable benchmarks and expectations for performance and systems to determine whether those are met.

The Return of Solar Storms Threatening Power Grids and Satellites
I think that's fair. The internet is full of people who won't even go to the effort of reading the article they are confidently promoting as the truth. Sometimes something as simple as "actually this study is about lions. not people" is enough to bust some people's bubbles.
Seems like bikeshedding on an irrelevant tangent. I'm trying to do whatever this gender-sensitive thing is that I'll get crap for if I do or don't do. Next, the safety pins will call Romance languages sexist for having gendered words.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Thanks for the reply!

It's coming back now; I definitely remember reading some early drafts and thinking "boy it's sad this is just HTTP 3.0-rc1". I always liked SCTP; I'm glad IETF-QUIC has moved back towards being (sort of) SCTP-over-UDP as well as a better HTTP.

On the encryption front I don't remember reading about a non-TLS version (I probably missed it). I'm kinda sad that got dropped. TLS is just crazy complicated in ways that are unnecessary for non-web things like ssh and wireguard.... X.509 and the whole certificate authority trainwreck.

I really hope we get a "QUIC with non-TLS encryption" at some point in the future.
If Twitter is multiple echo chambers HN is one echo chamber.

It's no surprise within the echo chamber things seem harmonious, but there's something really funny about seeing people from here thumb their noses down at Twitter.

If you follow the right people in tech on Twitter, their replies are pretty similar to HN, and it's a lot of the same people.

Crapping on Twitter while acting like HN is above it all is kind of like saying your favorite coffee shop is so much better than the entire City of New York.
I've seen a lot of contrarianism here wrt Bellingcat - i.e. this is the only place outside Tankie forums where the benefit of doubt was given to the FSB/GRU rather than Bellingcat during the Skripal affair, regardless of whether you think that's appropriate or not, I think it should be categorically stated that just because hackernews is more civil than Reddit it is not subject to bias and groupthink: In particular I would like to challenge an undercurrent I've felt here since the day I started commenting, that just because hackernews is a good forum to discuss things properly that one's beliefs shouldn't be challenged or put on a pedestal by virtue of where they are said.
Chrome 91 Benchmarks on Linux Showing Off Even Better Performance

It doesn’t actually work that way. Assuming a treatment that effectively slows aging by half...

Basically the odds of death don’t drop, you simply have 2 years vs 1 year at every stage of decline. Which means you end up with fewer people that are living to the equivalent of 70 as they had twice as many chances of dying before 70. And reaching the equivalent of 80 means surviving 20 years with the body of someone in their 70’s etc.

Thus the number of people living in nursing homes drops.

Another way of thinking about things, if you slow down physical aging to 1/10th, few people would live to reach a 650 year old retirement age unless you also reduce all other risks of death per year to 1/10th.
Your violence comment is totally irrelevant.

If you thought going to work at Uber was going to be normal-ish, then you just didn't do your homework. That's on you. No reason we should make policy to protect people who won't do basic research.

You cite financial considerations, but again, these people are getting paid huge amounts of money. Unless you consider golden handcuffs to be a financial consideration that would prevent someone from leaving, that just doesn't apply here. That's the point - the tradeoff they're making enables them to leave whenever they want.

I'm unlikely to ever use this project, follow it closely or interact with the creator but it still makes me extremely happy to see someone working on a project like this, with the goals, motivations and context that Andreas discusses. Thank you for making the world a little bit better at a time when it feels so crazy.
I was thinking about a job opportunity that would involve a move recently and started to feel ridiculous when I realized how much of my apprehension had to do with all my stuff, much of which was boxed up and hadn't been touched for years. Then I read the Kondo Marie book and started doing it. An unexpected side benefit is you come to appreciate the possessions you do want to keep a lot more when you separate them out from ones you're keeping around "just in case" that you didn't really want.

I find this funny, the badges have typos on purpose.

I'm not going to shame you for this but I think you have some misconceptions about the vaccines vs naturally acquired immunity that might impact your decision.

Naturally acquired immunity from the original strain of covid-19 is not effective against some of the other variants. The strain currently ravaging India has infected many individuals who had been sick before, sometimes extremely seriously.

The mRNA vaccines don't work the same way as old school vaccines. They're better technology and they're also much more effective than natural immunity. Basically by getting the vaccine you won't get seriously ill and you won't die. You're also less likely to get infected with the strains.

Nobody can force you to get a shot but you're helping protect yourself and other people by getting it. I hope you reconsider.
That's cool. I have no idea what words to use these days, it will offend someone.
America has enough land. What we don’t have is good enough infrastructure to connect these areas to make them viable parts of the commerce network.

Tri-State area in the Northeast is a good example of ‘almost, but no cigar’. Sure, you can live in some parts of Connecticut/NJ/Upstate and commute to NYC, but I feel like it should be a lot better.

Bullet trains would expand what’s possible. Imagine living in Philly and commuting to NY or vice versa in a reasonable amount of time.

Building (no pun) our way out of this mess is one way, but not enough. We need better/faster travel, and unfortunately that initiative should have started 10 years ago. We’re too behind on that front, so I’m not optimistic about the housing market being properly saturated with houses to keep the frenzy at bay. The places where they will have to build are not viable if you need to get to an economic center daily.

Edit:

One thing I think the federal government can incentivize is to subsidize companies to not have a large headquarters anywhere. Find a tax break for companies to create distributed offices across at least 3-5 states. That’s a great way to let people relocate in a safe way (same company, different office), and help build new economic centers.
