Web servers would be counted as systems software by most people. I've been a 'systems' person my whole career, part of the system community, publishing at systems conference and doing work in a systems research group, and I'd count web servers as systems and so would most people I know.

We used to build marketing sites for startups, and are now building our own Saas.

First thing to know is, a lot of Saas companies acquire most of their customers through SEO/content marketing (and direct sales on leads that often come in through content).

So a lot of your ‘marketing’ time is going to be spent creating content, like email updates, blog posts, feature announcements, guides, help docs, customer case studies, comparison landing pages, etc.

The best tool we've found for marketing sites is Webflow. In previous companies we’ve used wordpress, then static sites (Gatsby, Hugo, etc) hooked up to a headless CMS, and both were pretty much horrible for this use case.

Wordpress is great at content publishing, but a giant pain in the ass to setup and create new landing pages with. Static sites are fun to set up and easy to create landing pages with (if you know front-end dev), but are a nightmare for content publishing workflows.

Webflow can do both fairly well (and is friendly for non-technical founders), hence why most YC companies create their marketing sites on Webflow now.

The only downside of Webflow IMO, is that Wordpress does offer a better content publishing experience and great email marketing integrations, so we built a tool to solve that for Webflow, and are currently turning it into a Saas (shameless plug): https://audienceful.com
It's an overlay network (a software defined network that runs on top of another network... like you internet service providers network).

It's closer to bittorent than a VPN. It has end-to-end encryption and each node (the app that runs on your PC) distributes routes to each other (similar to how routing works on the Internet between large networks). It appears to be a flat spanning-tree style network.

They mention that it is using similar code and ideas as the cjdns project.
On my android I can enter pin/password per keyboard, or the swipe pattern per mouse. Some early android phones had slide-out keyboards (like a Blackberry), so good support for physical keyboards isn't that surprising. I wasn't expecting the mouse support tough.
The point of the article is not "how to do it", but rather to observe that this kind of thing, previously a (relatively) niche concern, has become important to a general audience. The article even suggests that there's a business opportunity for fashion businesses to create tailored videoconferencing spaces, which is predicated on the notion that most people lack the time or inclination to set up their own bespoke setup (including lighting, cameras, audio, and so on).

The takeaway is meant to be that videoconferencing has reached a point of cultural importance where it has become hard to take a public figure seriously if they have a poor setup, in much the same way that it would be hard to take a poorly-dressed person seriously. Much as people experiment with clothing as a means of signalling status and personality, one's videoconferencing setup becomes a new way of signalling these things. It's all fairly obvious, but it's still not something that I have spent much time thinking about, and a how-to guide would probably not prompt me to think about the social and cultural aspects nearly so much.

The main distinction between a campus and a city is its ratio of shared spaces to private spaces. A campus has 10% private spaces and 90% shared spaces, a city has 90% private spaces and 10% shared spaces. They are completely flipped.

Campuses are also built to be completely walk-able once you park on the outskirts.
I've done quite a lot of family research and I'm fairly young (I think????) being just 30.

I'm somewhat of a history buff and while History generally happens through some great event, big time general or king or the like. history with a small h happens through the people simply living their lives.

I live in Sweden and the records we have available are extensive enough from say mid 1700s and onward to give you glimpses into my relatives life. I can reconstruct a story of how my great-great-great-granparents met while both working on the same farm, eventually moving into their own farmstead and later having children.

I can see how one of my relatives _really_ didn't want to be in the military since he fled three times, eventually the military just gave up in collecting him the third time.

Or how one of my relatives moved to America to make a new life for himself.

To me it really brings history within touching distance and makes it more human.
The answer is actually yes. But only if you drop the current crop of disproved morality based economic models that make up the bulk of the curriculum at most schools of business.

The reality is that any modern economy based on fiat-money have unlimited cash and tend to benefit enough from weakening the bargaining power of the entrenched elites though inflation funded welfare, that you can set the bar for how poor the poor are allowed to become without necessarily impacting the real world industrial/agricultural output, but because of dogmatic policies designed to facility wealth hording we pretend that we cannot really end poverty.

Another problem is that we measure societal success based on how well the 20% richest lives rather then on how well the 20% poorest live. which again support wealth hording policies that will eventually clash with the ideal that democracy, freedom and equally, should be available to everyone not just an small elite as was the case in ancient Rome or Greece(and to some extend The American south until ca 1970).
I suspect they could have found a better example, but Gates was clearly using a camera with a very wide aperture, giving a shallow depth of (focused) field, meaning his background wasn’t distracting. His lighting also had slightly less hot-spotting (you can see she’s using two main lights, but can’t readily ID Gates’ light placement).

Given the disastrous video setups I’ve seen, I think the Bloomberg anchor’s setup was at least a 7 on the 10 scale (and maybe an 8), so hardly terrible.

Side note: audio is a fraction of the effort and expense and IMO is more important.
Just look at all of the conditions that people complain about, which could be resisted if we had collective action.

Support for remote work, resistance to hotdesking (or gasp, even demanding offices), making all on-call requirements non-mandatory, a union rep who can review PIPs to ensure that they aren't deliberately impossible, and more.
I understand the money transfer problem. Cryptocurrency seems like a good idea in that case.

I question though why choose Bitcoin? I guess a lot of people support it. But it is far from stable, so no one in the right mind, especially poor people should hold significant Bitcoins because it is speculative rather than stable.

I guess stable coins do not have the wide acceptance that bitcoin has? Why not USDC or similar to solve the money transfer problem?

Your respond suggest that Bitcoin is going to the moon, but that suggests you want it to stay the speculative instrument it is now. But if it is going to work in El Salvador you want it to be stable no?

Well, logic tells me that if Vaccine works, then it should reflect in the data everywhere, not only in some countries. I picked these countries hoping that there will be a stark contrast. But didn't, hence the question.

>Your question indicates you're a vaccination skeptic...

I don't know about the others, but Google does not share pay bands, refresh targets, or other pay information with workers. People volunteer their information for folks who collect the results and distribute it (since this is protected action) but I wouldn't say that this is "transparent".
If you surveyed black programmers and asked them about their experiences with discrimination, how many would cite the use of terms such as "blacklist" in source code? I suspect not many. Changing source code has a cost and should not be done just to signal virtue.

The source comments:

Most of these are based on https://twitter.com/TwitterEng/status/1278733303508418560

That thread includes: "As someone with mental health problems you guys have really stood up for me by removing "sanity check""

From that we can conclude that 1) this is strongly influenced from Twitter's view of what is inclusive language and 2) there are people who appreciate using an alternative to the term "sanity".

Pick an operating system, e.g. Haiku(BeOS), Plan9, Net/Open/Free-BSD. Download the source code and dig in. Read the source, the comments, commit logs and email threads. IMO Linux has gotten too big and complex due to having to support so many processors and devices.

Most existing systems programming is in C/C++. Rust is new and there isn't much battle hardened code out there.
Wealth is not income
This is very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to answer :)
People would prefer to choose how to allocate their income rather than forcing them to allocate a certain percentage to food via food stamps.

Also, in the same way that a universal basic income removes a layer of bureaucratic overhead, having universal healthcare also removes the burden of middlepeople handling insurance claims.
The deterrent effect is less because clerks are more effective than cameras at detecting crime, and more because people don't like committing crimes when there are other people nearby.

Obviously that's not an absolute statement, especially considering that armed robbery is a thing. But in general humans are better crime deterrents than security cameras or robots.

In a lot of cases, that's the sole reason for employing security guards, since the only thing they're actually allowed to do when they encounter crimes in progress is ring the police.
Plan9 is known for having very accessible code.
That is a bit strong, probably could have made the same statement without the first few words of the second paragraph.
My biggest image format question, which I haven’t seen a clear answer to, is as an iPhone camera user should I be keeping the JPEG or the HEIC as my archival format?

It isn't though. The Carto rendering style shown on openstreetmap.org is as close as we get to having a reference implementation. Osmand, while a good product, is much further removed from the OSM community.

Show HN: Create programmatic audio ads at scale

I'm really glad that projects like this exist.

I note that they site privacy as their #1 advantage:

* Respects your privacy
* Saves your battery
* No unexpected mobile data charges

In my opinion, people have given up caring about privacy and expect to receive an inferior experience from products that proclaim this. Therefore, again imo, products that focus on privacy and such will remain niche.

I suspect that the world is ready for paid services that provide a better Ux. I am thinking about how Netflix supposedly put a dent in piracy. People were willing to pay for content with a better Ux.

Aside from saving battery and no surprised mobile data charges, the list many other benefits:

* No ads
* No annoying registration
* No mandatory tutorials
* No noisy email spam
* No push notifications
* No crapware

I wonder if a project could charge a small monthly fee if they focused on these user benefits that everyone cares about, and partially use that money to support OSM and partially use the money to support themselves?
That doesn't explain at all what would happen if 50% workforce walked out the door tomorrow and expected the rest of workforce to provide them.

My interest was driven by coming across some family tree research my paternal great-grandmother and great-great grandmother did 100 years ago. I wanted to bring it up today's genealogical standards, if only to help out my childrens' children.

Many of stories I've found are gut wrenching and brand new to me, as in never spoken by any living generation, and yet, generations persisted after that event.

So, to me, it's a kind of very unique resilience that can be told only through dusting off your own family tree.
Probably higher than your average citizen without access to classified information, but not high enough to make defection a common occurrence that significantly hampers intelligence work. Some hackers may be disillusioned with the system, but most are socially conditioned to accept it as better than the alternative, imposed by external enemies and pressures, or not their problem. Defection is also not unique to authoritarian countries, see Snowden.

I try to assume good faith with these people – that it's not a straw argument –, but in doing so, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place:

• I can assume they're just wrong, and don't understand the implications of what they're saying, ignoring other people because they're profoundly confused

• or I can assume, instead, that they believe the basic entitlement of all people is less than the staying alive threshold – i.e., that human life doesn't have inherent value.

I hope this is a false dichotomy.
> Pension: Germany has a pyramid scheme and it collapsed a while back.

The system did just fine, but was plundered by politics. During the German reunification, the people from the former Eastern Germany were added to the public pension fund without ever having anything payed in. This drastically increased the amount of recipients without bringing in additional money.

Politics decided that. They also decided to not put any tax money in the pension pool to re-balance it.

No matter how you design a pension fund: If you bring in an additional country as recipients without any additional capital, that pension fund won't survive.

"For example, much of the popular conception of Ragnarok is heavily influenced by Christian eschatology, instead of the original Norse beliefs. "

In more easy words: christians believe that one day the world really ends with judgment day/apocalypse, and interpreted Ragnarok similar as the end of the world, which is what many people today think of Ragnarok (and that view that gets reinforced by the popular movies)

But Ragnarok is not the end of the world, just the end of a cycle and start of a new beginning. The snake that bites its own tail. Endless cycle of seasons. Really a different philosophy.

Full disclosure, I did a Show HN some time ago(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23131035)

It worked, some of my friends were using it, but I never really improved on it although it was always in the back of my mind to do so at some point. So December 2020 seemed like a good time to do this.

I completely rebuilt it, but again, did not really expect that there will come much of it, it is really just for myself. It seemed that the problem I was solving was really just a problem that I had.

But then Apple announced their Hide My Email (albeit just on Apple devices) service at WWDC 21. I was like: "Hey, if Apple thinks there is something here, maybe other people would start thinking about it too."

I want to continue building on this; I've had some ideas (browser extensions, Mobile, business plan, etc. etc.) that I want to implement sooner rather than later. There is a small fee for using the service and I believe that there may now be some people, non-Apple or otherwise users, who would start to see the value of this and be willing to pay for this service.

I have not tried Apple's Hide My Email, but I think what makes Mailphantom different is that:

1. You can reply to an email; and
2. You can also add your own custom domain which only you will have access to
