Gemini vs. HTTP ~ HN vs. Reddit
Thanks for the question.

We were another little publishing house that released two, three technical books per year. Unfortunately, due to the previous owner, we made many errors (such as investing time and resources into a project that we found was a scam) and we lost part of our readers. Our former business was really a pain, tons of people high-paid only to waste time on stupid books. Economic crisis of 2008 and 2011 in Italy contributed to this and we losted earnings.

I am one of the previous employee and after a discussion with the former owner, we got the rights to redistribute the content. The old company was removed, and all the employee (10) were fired.

Currently we are focusing on re-editing our books and developing a solid business plan. We know it's a little bit ambitious to say pioneer, but we were one of the first technical publishing houses to release digital content in the early 90s (in Italy).
Yes, but as an employer I use both external recruiters, as well as an in-house recruiter, and we all talk to eachother. Recruiters don't operate in a vacuum. It's really no skin off the recruiter's nose if you choose to be difficult: you just won't get any further. Remember that I'm using them to offload some of the considerable effort required to find good candidates who are worth talking to.

The context of the GP post is getting back to a recruiter to find out more about a job, which suggests you're at least interested in that job. If you are interested, you need to be at least somewhat accommodating.

Yes, they reached out to you, but now you're getting back to them? Why are you doing this unless you're interested?

If you're not interested, either ignore them or send a polite decline.

Expressing interest whilst simultaneously coming off as difficult and entitled does you no favours.

Recruiters will often have a bunch of people who get back to them to express interest for any given role and will, in addition, be responsible for multiple roles. Having a quick call with somebody is generally quicker than responding by email, which is probably the main reason they ask for a call. Doesn't mean you can't do the call at a time of mutual convenience - that's obviously fine.

> Moreover, unless your business is basic webdev or your skill requirements are very low, I have a hard time believing you are turning down lots of candidates. It's brutal out there for those trying to hire. This is definately not a buyers market, it's a seller's market. It may not be for long, but that's the current situation.

That might be true in your market: it is not in mine. You are, of course, entitled to believe whatever you'd like to.
Right now security guard are being paid way too much and use their money to waste too much energy. When the block reward will decrease, so will the energy use. But the transaction cost is not impacted by the reward.
On the same note of WW2 unsong diplomats:

Aristides de Sousa Mendes, was a portuguese diplomat in Bordeux France.

He against explicit orders granted 30k visas of which 10k were jews.

His diplomatic career was terminated. He was shunned back in Portugal, died in debt, feed by a Jewish soup kitchen.

Holocaust scholar Yehuda Bauer characterized Sousa Mendes' deed as "perhaps the largest rescue action by a single individual during the Holocaust."

In his own words:
“From now on I’m giving everyone visas, there will be no more nationalities, races or religion. I cannot allow all you people to die...”

I think you like manual because that's all you know at first but when you try a hill start in an automatic the first time you're sold on its comfort.

Now the next step is deciding wether you enjoy the precise control of the manual vs the liberating comfort of the automatic.

I d argue that a tiptronic like solution that does both is perfect and should be default in all cars. But then it s a matter of cost.

At least you're totally wrong thinking we buy manual because they're simple enough we can modify them :D We're 70M people where I come from, 95% of cars are manual, never ever heard this one.

GameCube used a mini DVD, but broke with the standard by using constant angular velocity instead of constant linear velocity. So the drive always spun at the same rpm, where regular DVDs spin slower the closer they read head is to the centre. This made them cheaper to make, and impossible to copy with a regular DVD burner.
The initial quote is very odd. Someone complaining you can't do newspaper layouts in Gemini. Newspaper layouts are determined by the needs of the medium, that being fixed content printed on paper of specific proportions.

Gemini isn't useless because it can't do some arbitrary thing, but I think it's useless because it has no pragmatic purpose. The article author even claims it won't be modified once it's formal. It's like the definition of "dead on arrival".
Now that Trump is no longer the US President, and is banned from social media, I've definitely noticed a significant decrease in US domestic politics in my world news (mostly BBC and Guardian)
I'm not a part of the Gemini community, but if I had to guess:

* caching is like alcohol: it is both the cause of and solution to all of life's problems

* nothing Gemini serves should be so large as to need resumable downloads or compression

In other words they seem like deliberate choices to prevent web-app-ification of Gemini.

I think we might be talking past each other. Sure, I'll talk, but you need to send me enough information for me to decide whether the job is interesting (salary range and job description at minimum) and whether you're trustworthy first.

> if you're really interested in the job, then be accommodating

Right, that's the point - I don't know if I'm interested until I have a fair amount of detail about the posting. If it can be communicated via email, it should be. I don't want information artificially withheld in order to bait me into a sales pitch, or for that sales pitch to be misrepresented as the type of discussion you're offering.

> There seems to be some belief amongst a number of posters on this thread that the only or main reason we want to talk to you is so we can cut to a salary negotiation and hammer you down. That simply isn't true.

Sure, but your written communication needs to demonstrate to me that you aren't one of those people, because most recruiters are.
You wouldn't need something that complex, and it seems the author has a philosophical disagreement with CSS as such.

I would love be able to write a gem document where I can say this is a quote, this is an emph light text and this is an emph text, this is a table and this is a link and then it will be up to the client to choose how it wishes to display it, including just as text.

I prefer inline links strongly, but I require inline images and tables for it to have any value directly. It would be an obvious benefit to include support for inline math too, something that we still don't have on the web.

And no a link to a table or an image is not a replacement for an inline one (though it is an obvious fallback for terminal renders).

Such a format would be really nice to access information in, it would be easy to save/proxy for online access and it would still be possible to include ads (of the still image, non tracking variant).

The munchausen trilemma undermines the concept of “weighing the evidence”. Everything anybody believes to be true is either founded upon circular reasoning, a reasoning of infinite regression, or an arbitrary set of unprovable axioms. The consequence is that any level of belief in any truth can only be based upon faith. People who believe that their world view is based entirely upon facts and universal truths tend to have a very hard time accepting this. They will often say that scrutinizing something to that level is a pointless waste of time for things that are so obviously true, which is perhaps ironically the exact behaviour also exhibited by the most closed minded of the true believers that they often find themselves so frustrated by.

I think it's the fact that mindisc and CDs and other removable media had physical motion that some people find fascinating. As computers have become more powerful they've also become much less mechanical, at least at the human interaction scale. The physicality of human-computer interaction has almost been reduced to holding up a glass screen and either passively viewing or endlessly swiping, at least for many people.

It's that "precise control of the manual" that's enabling.

Presumably we'll see the same thing with fully self-driving cars in the future. This is, a mature self-driving technology should eventually out-perform (unmodified) humans, but even then, when there's no argument for manual-driving's practicality, some folks'd probably want to drive manually anyway.

Liking simplicity is not always about being "included in the magic" IMHO (but it's a very valid and fine point).

My observation is simple stuff is generally less wasteful and designed with different set of goals. The simple stuff I particularly like lasts a lifetime, its maintenance is minimal and doesn't lock you into a single ecosystem.

Since these items are used for much longer than their modern counterparts, they become yours more.

On the digital realm, simple stuff is less distracting, works faster, is not short on essential features and can do 95% of the more complicated stuff with minimal overhead.

At the end of the day, people may like simple stuff more because it does most of the work done by the complicated thing with much less mental load. Funnily, sometimes the simpler stuff actually does more than the complicated one.
Actually no, this could almost not be further from accurate. I say almost because there was one case where I definitely committed to way too much at once, but I can't think of a way it's generally true. Based on your answer and re-reading my comment, it seems like I could have phrased one bit differently. I meant expectations in terms of software delivery, but requirements more broadly. As in, being expected to complete X, but also being required to do it a noisy office or handle customer support troubleshooting. I think what you're saying is important though, I just happened to read similar advice when I identified that I was doing that to myself years ago. It was no doubt a problem I found myself in, and probably did contribute to burnout the first time, but the bigger issue then was that I was already just staring at my screen hopelessly wondering why I couldn't motivate myself to write html. Happened about 6 months in and that's my going residency so far. Its usually a few months previous to that where a manager makes a huge and arbitrary change even though I've figured out how to be productive by then. Like shuffling all the teams in one case, and putting me (adhd) on customer support.

The class system or castas was very much part of Europe.

The monopoly of the church on God and crown was precisely why it was imported into India by the British to consolidate their power.

"Caste" is often used to white wash the Islamic and Christian colonization of India that lasted for a 1000 years, that reduced the richest nation to one of the poorest.

This poverty creation machine that the British colonization is not merely an effect of exploitation or greed, it was very much driven by the same racist and Christian supremacy that drove the nazis.

The "dalits" are very much the biggest victims of colonization.
Untouchability was never a dharmic definition or idea. The Vedic texts talk about there being four proper "callings" in life but make no mention of any social outcaste status, and the elaborate system of caste was a result of unrelated developments, similar to the ones which created the rigid social systems of the West in the Middle-Ages.
But an object constructed from a class still has all the optimisation problems you just mentioned. It’s just syntactic sugar. The optimiser generates invariants which, if invalidated, makes you fall back to a slow path.
Interestingly according to docs this doesn't prevent your stirngs from being GC'd either.

Minidisc FAQ: Hi-MD
"Introduced by Sony in January 2004, Hi-MD is a nearly complete revamping of the original Minidisc system. The most significant change is the introduction of Hi-MD media, which includes a new 1GB blank in the existing MD form-factor and a reformatting of existing MD media that doubles its capacity to 305MB. In addition, several important and long wished-for Minidisc capabilities have been incorporated into Hi-MD equipment."

I remember the Sony MiniDisk audio recorder/player. You could record digital audio, but couldn't transfer it to your computer in digital format.

Due to the possibility that you might not have had license to record what you recorded, then you couldn't have a digital version of it on your computer.

This was the end of my relationship with Sony.
> I like the approach modern gopher clients are taking by natively supporting markdown content. Does Gemini not support that?

Gemini supports RFC2046 mime types. So you can serve using their own text/gemini, text/markdown, text/html, and so on. You can go ahead and serve images and video, too.

It's up to the client to support the mime type, but a lot of clients have pretty wide-ranging support (a few actually are re-using a web browser engine, so have full support for a lot of formats). (And markdown will fallback to plain text when unsupported, which is what it is defined for, so would be fine).
I wasn't sure whether I was going to comment, but this kind of comment is rather unhelpful and poor form. Some may prefer not to have a (mock) notebook runtime in their application for good reason that has nothing to do with their skill.

Could face and voice recognition become the new 'phrenology'?
Yes, and my response is that the average person doesn’t rationally need to intellectually revalidate every scientific and technological fact from first principles because we are surrounded by overwhelming evidence, and that highlighting that not everyone has done that is not actually all that clever or relevant if you think about it. No faith in shadowy institutions is required to see the facts of technological and scientific progress all around me.
I'm not sure about how 'low' low power computing is, but consider this: a jpeg is compressed, and on a 1990 Acorn Archimedes (ARM, 8Mhz 32bit, and the fastest home computer at the time), you could watch a jpeg image being rendered in real time. Uncompressed images, unsurprisingly, rendered instantly.

Below are some relevant articles I keep going back to that highlight the same phenomenon on the 'decay' of web as a platform (by decay I mean extreme commercialization, excessive bloat, endless tracking and whatnot) made by the linked forum post's author:

* https://danluu.com/web-bloat/

* https://medium.com/digital-diplomacy/the-world-wide-web-is-d...

Can't help but agree with most of their assertions.

Also, I just noticed that the author of this forum post uses 'internet' in place of what I feel should be 'web/world wide web' (just some pedantry from me tbh).

I'm sure nobody here will believe me, but somewhere around Oct-Dec of last year Apple literally replaced my Google translate app with their own translate app. Like it was literally in the same spot as my Google Translate app had been. I thought it was weird, but at first just chalked it up to Google changing the design. Only after I realized image translating was gone did I investigate more and realize it wasn't Google Translate after all.
