Nice learning project, I'd just reconsider the medium as Electron is a bit beefy for this use case and you have really added nothing to the the scaffold other than the panzoom lib.

To me minimal would be a single binary that uses some image library or maybe just an empty window while slowly working your way up implementing a way to read different image types, start with ppm and bmp then tackle something more complex. I did something with SDL and the SOIL header with opengl years ago. Weighed a few kb and could handle almost anything, added DnD, zoom with lerp and eases to make it bouncy, scroll with zoom wheel and control the scroll increments by holding various keys, was a very fun project I learnt a lot from.

I'd revisit this project and maybe use try some other cross platform tech that can push out a much much smaller binary, maybe python and tkinter [1] or take a look at fman [2] and see where that takes you. C# also seems to run everywhere nowadays, lots of options.

I wish somebody would make a light weight web browser that was compatible with modern standards. I like Opera but I don't think it is available for my operating system (OpenBSD) any more.
The fundamental rule is to double check everything. Otherwise you end up letting false stories through that confirm your preexisting biases, since they don't sound "absurd" to you.

If your mother says she loves you, check it out.
If the vaccine actually prevents getting sick enough to notice, then it means a bunch of vaccinated virus carriers are wandering around in public. Whereas if they were unvaccinated, then by the popular theory that unvaccinated people get very sick from this virus, they would know to stay home.
I wonder, from a cows point of view, if being eliminated as a species is preferable to being eaten one at a time at some point in their life cycle.

Because this appears to be advocating for genocide. Or bovinecide (is that the right word)?

<Edit>Apparently this is being taken as an argument for meat eating. It's not, I suspect we will lay off eating animal flesh as a species fairly soon. Just a theoretical question. Something to think about. Because simple "everyone should just XXX!" often have wider implications.

On billing.. they will never do it, but on smaller accounts they could build trust by offering some sort of "prepaid" mode like cell phone services do at the low end.

That is - you deposit $X in your account, and AWS nukes your live services if you breach it. The worst that ever happens is you are out sunk cost of the $X you had already deposited.
People say this a lot, but really, what can a native app track that a web app can't? To track location, you need to give the app permission, just like the web. To receive push notifications, you need to give the app permission, just like the web.

I think this claim is unfounded.
Thanks for the excellent explanation, but the attitude and needless personalization was unnecessary. This functionality was previously available via the Optimize-Volume cmdlet, I guess it makes sense the defragmenter was updated with similar functionality to account for the typical Windows user.
Wait, what? I use Firefox exclusively and there's definitely not a Mozilla ad every new tab or every restart. There is one once a major release (including a couple of days ago), and those always annoy me, but it's only once a month or two.

Are you exaggerating or does yours work differently?
I can tell you which ridiculous reason I chose to switch to C++ after I'd learnt C++: begin and end felt less "elite" than {}... I was 12 at the time, don't judge.

Still... when I see Lua, Visual Basic or Julia even now I think: this is not going to make it, it doesn't stroke the programmers ego. I'll be happy to be proven wrong.
I do a session with new hires and teams on their working preferences. I’m publishing the doc to the net in the next few days at www.workingwithme.com

It’s informal and you discuss topics such as feedback, communication, likes/dislikes.

It’s helped a lot to learn everyone’s similarities and differences in an hour vs several months.
I usually do that as well. But sometimes the properties of a product are not maintained correctly and you might miss out on certain manufacturers completely. Last time this happened to me was when looking for a new TV. Sony was completely filtered out although some of their TVs had all the features i was looking for.

TLDR: The (wrong) filter settings might make you blind for the whole range of the market.
There's a flip side to this "nothingburger" argument. If it isn't such a big deal/difference over the status quo, then why do the airlines want it?

You say, "I don't like the surveillance state, in particular the ubiquity of cameras in public open spaces where there's no compelling reason." You are assuming there is no compelling reason because you do not personally know what that reason may be. Someone, somewhere, thought they had a compelling reason to go through the expense and hassle of developing and installing the surveillance system. It wasn't just "IDK, it's kinda neat".

It's clear from the gaping, empty space between our understanding of these systems and the desire of institutions to have them that something must be filling it. Whatever that "it" is should not be hidden from the public and communicated clearly, and not just hidden in a TOS-like document locked in a room with a tiger in the basement.
Pigs are omnivores.
I am not understanding how you get to possible restrictions.

How could I, as a private citizen or owner of a property be prevented from selling photos/videos with timestamps and geostamps?

How could a company be prevented from buying and aggregating that data (even in other jurisdictions)?

How could an end user be prevented from buying aggregated data as the cost plummets?

Do you really think the NSA is not buying all available data sets?
The above may help, it's not realistic for the vast majority to publishers to follow the above.

What do you think of using virtual machines in some capacity?

Climate Change Is Making Natural Disasters Worse – Along with Our Mental Health
That's a recipe for combinatorial explosion: each language has special chars or even are just made if glyphs, are you going to learn them all? Do you want to impose the burden for all devs in the world?

And now your typing is not at all fluid, even if you didn't have to stop and thing about every single special characters (which most people do), you will have to enter a combination to get them every time completion can't help.

In fact, even with an AZERTY keyboard, typing French, my native language, is slower than english.

Instead of having one simple common ground, you also now have an infinite number of variations to care about.

Not to mention having to understand a lib in spanish, an another one in russian and a last one in Hindi or arab.

Some of the ideas are useful, as long as you don't dogmatically insist that they apply to all problems.

People using words they don't understand, that is definitely a problem. Actually, two different problems: either they believe that the word means something else, or they just parrot words without thinking about their meaning at all. Both are problems, but require different approaches to fix.

Sometimes you understand each word in the sentence, but you still don't understand the entire sentence. Maybe the sentence is unnecessarily complex or abstract. Or maybe it is a statement of "what", but you don't understand "why"; like if you read Fermat's Last Theorem.

And sometimes (and this is the part Scientologists don't want to hear), the statement is just plainly false or nonsensical, and learning the meaning of every single word in a dictionary is not going to help with that. Though you can force people into submission by making them read the dictionary long enough that they give up and pretend that the statement now makes perfect sense to them.

Similarly, engaging multiple senses is helpful. Describe by words, make people repeat using their own words, make them write notes, show a picture or an animation, let them draw their own pictures, use Lego pieces or clay models, whatever. It is not the magic of clay (although the clay is quite flexible), but the magic of approaching the same concept from many angles.

I suspect that most low-level Scientologist teachings were created by taking some respected ideas (of given era) generated by someone else, and making them simple and dogmatic. (The high-level teaching about removing evil spirits from your body are unrelated to anything practical.)
The ability to render things client side in a way the server doesn't anticipate, e.g. native widgets on various platforms.

I don't see myself loosing anything of value? If the data you are talking about is e.g scroll back, nothing is preventing me from storing a wee bit extra metadata on the server.
In Russia, there is Yandex Market, they have almost the same, if not better granularity, and they don't use any scraping to generate product data — all human filled
You're right to some extent but it's worth noting that Flash wasn't killed on a whim. It was the no. 1 vector for catching malware by browsing internet -- for over a decade, and at some point it became clear that trying to keep it patched is hopeless long-term because zero-day bugs kept coming. It was like nicely looking box that emits radioactive waste.

This on a post of using steam on linux. Proton is "emulation" for some of the listed but it's pretty good emulation. It requires no savvy, open steam and play.
I wonder what the signs of degradation are? I use my phone attached to my handle bars and the phone shakes so much that I can have the camera app open and see the picture vibrating, it won’t actually let me take a picture or video. If I start the video then the bike it will record but blurry. I’m on an iPhone 8 so might have older camera less sensitive to this.
Maybe my comment was unclear. I said "all but one of them" and by "them" I meant, "the ones that work on Linux." The "but one" is referring to GTA, which you correctly observe is not a Valve game, as I did also in my comment. I edited to clarify.
I was also subjected to that.. it was insanely verbose had to type DEBUT_BLOCK instead of { and whatnot, all that in Borland C in DOS.. insane..
Pascal had problems that kept users from doing anything useful with it. Real-world implementations included bypasses for the problems, but then they weren't really implementing Pascal any more. Kernighan's famous article "Why Pascal Is Not My Favorite Programming Language" explains more:

This is what makes me sad about the current state of things. The web took a huge step backwards abandoning flash, and we're still fumbling to replicate the good parts of it.
But the whole point of treating cloud servers as cattle rather than pets is that when one dies, you can spin up another one, right? Ironically, that's one reason I prefer AWS over DO and the like, because AWS's EC2 auto-scaling and availability zones are great for this kind of resilience.
I'm in the middle of trying to design this for a startup in Cameroon. I agree with most other folks here, two things I'll highlight.

1) They need to be integrated into the culture and feel like they're part of the team from day one - this may not be their first literal impression (because of interviews, previous interactions potentially) but it's a really big one.

2) Make sure they have what they need and that others in the org prioritize them! Too many times I've seen a new hire come and folks from other teams who we interact with don't want to take time out of their schedules but this is absolutely critical... they're joining a whole org, not just your team. I've also seen lots of places drop the ball on basic things like making them sit around and wait for access to specific systems even though there was weeks of lead time that this person would need it at 9am Monday. Total unforced error and makes the company look unserious.

Love that site. The filters are amazing.
Changing culture in terms of food is a hard problem and one which would have a large range of benefits. Any country that has environmental issues from overpopulated or invasive species could benefit greatly if people hunted an ate that animal, but since they aren't part of the culture people don't and allow overpopulated or invasive species to continue being a problem. People are addicted to the cultural food that is popular in their local area.

We see the same issue in the cultivating of mono-culture plants. Instead of using a wide range of different plants and land usage we instead see a overuse of the same plants being force fed artificial fertilizers in order to keep production high, with much of it ending up in the water creating eutrophication. This is a primary reason why a whole ocean, the Baltic sea, is turning into an underwater desert with a lack of oxygen so great that not even many bacterials like to live there. Artificial fertilizers has destroyed more way more land than nuclear fission and nuclear bombs has together.

If we could change peoples culture in terms in what they eat we could not only have a 100% reduction in methane, but also fix the water pollution, biodiversity, usage of fossil fuels in the food chain, decrease land usage, fix overpopulation and remove invasive species, and feed even more people than we do today. It would also likely taste quite well, especially since taste is heavily influenced by culture.

In Steam you just click the play button and it launches the game under Proton.

It’s very rare to have issues if the game is rated Platinum in protondb and sometimes a setting in the Steam GUI needs to be changed if it’s gold or silver.

All in all I find it significantly less annoying than dealing with Windows’ ads and forced updates.
Or, you could stop buying cheap, garbage meat that sometimes causes the problems you describe. Buy from a food coop, research the farm that supplies the meat. If you have the luxury to make informed choices, do that.

Of course, good luck getting the poor or working class to do any of those things. They simply want cheap, appetizing calories.
An appeal to authority?

I mean, you can find Google results that can affirm almost any opinion, but that doesn’t make your argument here any less silly than it already is.

It's hard to say for sure... if you're interested in more competitive, trendy shooters, then you're out of luck. Rainbow Six Siege and Fortnite are both perpetually broken, which makes it a pretty hard sell to the up-and-coming audience of younger nerds.

On the other hand, the games it does work with are nearly flawless. I play Overwatch, Splitgate, and Battlefield online pretty regularly without issue, and single-player titles like The Sims, Rimworld and Noita function out-of-the-box. With more and more games "just working" on the platform, I think in 2 or 3 years it will be particularly competitive with Windows 11. Today though? It's a bit of a mixed bag.
It’s also a huge coordination problem. Just casually get 300 million people to be on the same page and make a collective action against their own personal interest where there is no punishment for noncompliance, no feedback mechanism for rewards, and no guarantee it will have any effect.

When the expected outcome is “you deny yourself pleasures you want and nothing changes” it’s pretty darn rational to just not bother.
I would agree with you if not for the fact that a lot of these popular "native apps" are just webpages within a native wrapper, which kind of defeats your argument.

Brands and vendors don't like the web because often they cannot 100% control what browsers do, and of course, a browser website cannot get access to the whole contact list, phone numbers and files on a phone device unlike a native app...

Installing an app via an appstore on mobile is low friction. Good luck getting someone to install your Windows or MacOS app on your desktop...

Even PWA that were all at rage a few years ago, called a replacement for native apps by the dev community, how many here have a single PWA installed on their desktop computer?

I'm not part of the group that downvoted you, but why would the only people touching Linux be CS majors? I'm not a CS major and I think most people I know that voluntarily use Linux on a daily basis isn't neither.

I just looked the guy up and he seems like he was well above average intelligence... what's your source?

I feel like people here often are disengaged with "average" people. Think of the "dumbest" person you know in your day-to-day; I bet they're actually fairly average.
Not sure why this is getting downvoted - this is absolutely true. A binary "works" or "doesn't work" categorization doesn't capture the difference.

I'm more and more wary of Firefox updates because they keep pulling shit like that. Why are they doing this? How many users are there saying "I wish my bookmarks would suddenly take up double the space as before, so I have to scroll more?" I don't get it.

At least there's a workaround for the bookmark issue. There's no workaround for renamed menu items and changed shortcut keys.

Its a site for collecting karma updoots for the sake of collecting karma updoots according to irrational site traditions.

I agree, its definitely not a site to request any knowledge from strangers, as I don't want to play their karma collecting game, SE is useless to me.

"Playing the wrong game" is a problem with any social media that has up and down arrows, including here on HN. With careful moderating and meta-moderation its possible to keep HN useful; SE is an example of a decayed site that is no longer useful due to lack of curation.

Boards like 4chan's /DIY/ are more useful and on topic than SE possibly BECAUSE 4chan does not have up and down arrows.

When engineering a social media site it seems two paths are stable and successful: Heavily moderated and centrally controlled/censored with up and down arrows, or anything goes with no up and down arrows to click. Other designs seem to degenerate into noise.

There's no practical way for this to happen. The code bases are intertwined tightly, and DM depends heavily on Google's internal infrastructure. Forcing them to split the code and move to the cloud (the only real option) would lead to a worse problem than the current situation.

I built a pretty beefy workstation last year, mostly for software dev but with a high end GPU so I could check out new games. I installed Ubuntu and Windows 10 on it from the start and figured I’d boot into Windows to play games, but so far basically everything I’ve wanted to play has run fine on Linux. I haven’t booted into Windows in months.
Crypto is new and risky but 0% crypto allocation is most likely the wrong number at this point in the game.

Just remember to start with an amount you are comfortable risking and then do your own research.

It's really the only way to understand the fundamentals of why crypto is worth anything, what is the utility, what is wrong with the fiat system, and focus on the needs of the underbanked in developing nations to understand the use cases.

This isn't a first world revolution. Unless you are underbanked you will need to exhert effort to understand the problems crypto solves.
This is important, and will show confidence in your product.

The requirement is insurance against not exceeding a hard limit. We're talking about a rare event, so the offering (vantage.sh) is not good for this specific usecase if it isn't absolutely foolproof.
Well, ROS?

I can't tell you how many people want to mess around with the robot operating system but don't want to dive head first into Linux. Hell, my very large robotics company won't even give you a linux machine. You're forced to use Mac or Windows or build it yourself.

But in general, I haven't dual-booted my main machine since WSL got good, and I'm a linxu-first kind of person with a penchant for windows gaming.
The individual punishment for anyone alive today will basically be nothing even in the worst cases, so while I agree with you, that argument doesn’t really work.

Cheat software is a problem, too. CheatEngine with game scripts works only under Windows. Clever use of it can vastly improve gaming experience on some games.
