As someone without this new web tech background, I have same experience about react.

create-react-app has so many dependencies and takes a lot of time to scaffold a hello world. Adding some router or some popular library produces deprecation warnings and '2 moderate vulnerability' messages. Folder size will blow up over 1 GB to make trivial apps. That's insane.
Feedback for Meetgeek on Product Hunt
Back in 2020, together with my co-founders, we decided to quit our corporate jobs and change the way meetings work.

So here we are, after more than 1 year of beta development, live with our first launch of Meetgeek on Product Hunt.

Please give us feedback at https://www.producthunt.com/posts/meetgeek
I didn't see Traveling Ruby in the linked list. Not sure how active its development is, but it's had activity in the last year: https://github.com/FooBarWidget/traveling-ruby

Is it true that VAX allowed customers to extend the ISA themselves?

I think I learned about that many years ago, but I couldn't find anything about that recently when skimming the 11/780 user manual.

>What a twisted logic they had back then. City got destroyed because of an incompetent government? That's fine, we can keep trusting them

Back then?

For how many years now have democrats been promising to be the savior of inner city minorities? And when are republicans going to get around to getting the government out of people's business?

Humans have changed very little over time.

Broadly there's a few categories of bicycle paths/roads in NL:

- bicycle path (fietspad)

- bicycle + moped path (bromfietspad) (same as a bicycle path but a bit wider)

- the road

In terms of the vehicles, there's also a few categories:

- bicycles (i.e. unpowered)

- e-bike with pedal assistance that stops at 25km/h

- moped (max speed 25km/h, "snorfiets")

- high-speed e-bike ("speed-pedelec"), max speed 45km/h

- moped (max speed 45km/h, "bromfiets")

The first 3 types of vehicles can usually ride on both a bicycle path or a bicycle + moped path [1]. There is no explicit speed limit other than the 25km/h limit on the e-bike/moped itself. (I guess that on a non-electric bike you can ride faster than 25km/h, as fast as you can go)

The second 2 types of vehicles can ride on a bicycle + moped path, but must otherwise ride on the road. For the second 2 types of vehicles, you need a numberplate and a helmet, and a mirror. On a bike + moped path inside the city, you can ride 30km/h, outside the city 40km/h, and on the road, 45km/h (less if the road has an explicit speed limit).

A table illustrating this:
https://www.catchlegal.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Afbeeld... (snelheid == speed, toegestaan == allowed).

[1] notable exception being inside the city of Amsterdam, where mopeds must ride on the road with a helmet (which is not normally required elsewhere), but e-bikes can remain on the bike path.
Newsletter that sends startup ideas via visual storytelling
TLDR; We just launched Smoothie on Product Hunt!

2 months ago, I started building my startup - Smoothie.

We wanted to send data-driven startup ideas through visual storytelling.

Why visual storytelling? Because typical newsletters are boring.

Fast forward and we now have ~300 subscribers.

And today, we finally launched on Product Hunt

There are 3 ways you can help:
Upvote: Easiest option
Comment: Helps the ranking
Share: This is the ULTIMATE cherry on top! If you can help share this with your network (ie. Linkedin or Twitter), that would help so much!

As always, thanks to everyone who take time out of their busy days to help support.

I appreciate you and will continue to give back
Yes and treasures are the only bonds that move in lockstep with 30 year mortgages. When people talk about the correlation between bond yields and mortgages those are exactly the ones they are referring to.

US Treasuries also are considered among the safest, least risky assets out there. This is true globally and has been for a very, very long time.

This is all succinctly explained in the link I posted above.

Lastly bond prices have an inverse relationship with interest rates, which means that as interest rates rise, bond prices go down. So no, when rates go up to x+5 you will never be able to find bonds that pay x+5.
C vs C++ – Full Comparison
Both of the programming languages, C and C++ have been used for diverse development purposes like game development, database system software, operating systems, GUI-based applications, and so much more.
That's what that was! I experienced this behavior for years writing posts or comments on facebooks mobile site, helped me a lot to wean myself of that one.
Not all people want a deeply personal relationship with their co-workers, many would even find being forced to engage in that intrusive. Unfortunately once those bonds are formed between some members of a team, often the team dynamic is shifted weirdly as some people feel forced into the "buddy buddy system"...it's classic now and forcing it into remote work seems like a nightmare
I agree, and to be honest I'd rather the TLS was optional because this would open Gemini to a lot of retro computers. Anyway, there is Mercury which is a simplified Gemini without encryption IIRC which solves that.

The important part is that you can treat the TLS as a black box and still hold the Gemini spec in your head. It is easy to implement by simply leveraging a TLS and a network lib. To implement a modern Web browser you need way more than that these days, which is why almost all browsers are chromium :-/ no company can justify the effort to develop new engines and clients anymore (my opinion).
I bought a Kobo Aura in 2013 or 2014. It handles epubs/mobis perfectly while PDFs are a terrible experience, but what impresses me is that the device works just as well as it did 8 years ago. The battery life is weeks or a month, the (modest) performance feels as good as when I bought it and no updates has screwed it up. I guess it is because it specializes in one specific task and tries to be nothing else than just that.
Sounds like Vite?
I certainly often find it distracting - it's notable that e.g. elvis' default highlighting, which mostly just slightly bolds {} and () and similar, doesn't bother me at all, though I get most of the same advantage out of 'showmatch' in vi.

That's what you'd expect after an "increased salinity" event.

> Sorry, but why should people care about what sounds terrible to you?

I never asked you to care what sounds terrible to me.

Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one, most are full of shit, and I don't really care if you don't like mine.

If you supposedly don't care what I think, why bother trying to tell me my opinion is wrong? You can't have it both ways.

> you weren't too obsessed with yourself, you'll know that that pasta actually exists

Ok sure buddy. It's totally on me that a meal that may consist of entirely carbs is not common/popular outside of Italy. Totally my fault.

> It's like someone asked you "what are you first World problems" and your answer was "yes"

Eating a diet of just carbs is literally not a first world problem, it's a 3rd world problem because people can't afford (or can't adequately store) proteins, fresh vegetables etc.

> when people were poor and carbs were the only thing they could afford to eat to keep being alive, not a privileged people's self inflicted fictional problem.

People have eaten much worse sounding things than your double-carb special, no doubt. The difference is - you're bollocking on like it's a perfect meal, and the idea that it doesn't sound appealing is apparently insulting to you.

Who could have possibly ever foreseen that a dish made out of necessity because people literally had nothing more than two kinds of otherwise bland starchy carbohydrates, would not seem appealing when other options are available?

An opinion isn't brutal honesty bub. You have one, I have one. The difference is I am well aware that mine is an opinion.

Good job on the generalisations though. "the food of half a billion people is usually terrible, here come try some carbs on carbs.".
There's a bunch of stuff scattered around on mailing lists and conferences: I think it's the main data source for Yandex's email offering (gmail equivalent). They've got an async C++ library for postgres called Ozo, and they're quite active in the community!
As interesting for me are the myths of great floods across multiple cultures that can trace their history to sea level rises - particularly affecting the Persian Gulf, shifting populations ever northward to ancient Mesopotamia.

I find oral tradition fascinating and wonder how modern technology (eg. books onwards) has affected it.
Crash reporter uses sentry. We don't want to know anything else about our users.
When Tribler crashes the core dump (e.g. Python TraceBack) can be inserted as a Github issue, using Sentry. Requires the user to opt-in by clicking "send" on crash reporter.
Did even Tunguska have a geological impact? And also, since 75% of the Earth is covered in water, it stands to reason that 75% of bolides exploded over an ocean, with literally no impact we could meaningfully measure.

My point is that human cities are "bolide sensors" and unevenly distributed in time and space, so the "measurements" are necessarily fewer than what occurs in nature.
I've had a Kobo Glo HD for the past 5 years or so and it's been a very functional device. This looks like a compelling upgrade (I like that it's waterproof).

The availability of SaaS is also a product the values of the various industries. There are lots of marketing-oriented SaaS because it's an easy market to sell to: they are very open to experimenting and taking risks, make decisions very quickly and have near limitless budgets. In industries where decisions happen slowly and budgets are limited it's harder to get a foothold, harder to grow, and if you do succeed you're less likely to be a fast-growing exciting startup that a venture-oriented place like HN talks about.
It made me more wary of SaaS businesses with teams and venture capital behind.

In my experience companies with VC money are much more likely to "flip" a business and sell to someone else causing disruption, or bad updates who make the product worse.

I still haven't had any of the subscriptions for products made by indie developers get significantly worse or change significantly.

They keep the lights on, add some features without breaking existing stuff.

If they're in for the lifestyle more than the money, I think they're less likely to sell and more likely to hold and maintain (assuming they're charging enough to make a living).
There is a resurgence of interest in HTML (really, hypermedia) oriented front end libraries like Turbo, htmx (mine) and unpoly.

The a majority of web apps being built today could be created at a fraction of the complexity by using these libraries, and they put full stack development back on the table.
Alternatively, the story about a comet strike may have been invented/popularized by the next (the Qing) dynasty to further legitimize their power. It's not preferable to the Ming to blame divine intervention, but it would be preferable to the Qing.

> Or I'm missing something big.

It's the software tooling cost.

There's nothing exceptional in the spec because it's trying to insert itself into the industry as a standard baseline, so staying small and simple is pretty intentional.

Its whole deal is that you can design a 2040's ISA or whatever you want and run 2015 Linux on it.

Everyone is jumping on it because no longer do they have to deal with a GCC/LLVM backend, and a long tail of other platform support: they can focus on the hardware, and put their instructions on RISC-V (with some set of standard extensions).

The other thing, though less impactful on the industry adoption, is that the simplicity allows hardware implementations (aka "microarchitectures") to replicate intricate out-of-order designs that we're used to in high-performance x86 (and ARM) cores, with a small fraction of the resources (https://boom-core.org/).

The real question in the high-performance space is: who will be the first to get an OoO RISC-V core onto one of TSMC's current process nodes (N7, N5, etc.)?
Perhaps there is no solution. Perhaps there is no problem to solve.
> you leave the device at home while you go out on your dissidence business

This is not so simple at all. Mobile phones are required everywhere now, from reading a menu in a cafe to entering a building with QR-codes (against corona, of course). I am not even speaking about importance of communication with other people.

Also, no government turns into a tyranny overnight. It happens slowly and most people will not be aware of it until late, including dissidents.

This is a refreshingly honest take, love it.
I have the exact same experience. Like many readers here on HN i love to get new gadgets. I've been looking for an upgrade for several years now just for the sake of it.
But, the device is still rock solid and newer ones don't add any relevant additional extra value to motivate the decision.
Since I read several books per week my Kobo Auro One is the single best purchase I've ever made. :)
Impacts of this size don’t leave enough evidence for you to know where to look, especially after 1000’s of years of man caused and natural erosion.

An air burst impact that’s large enough to take out a city won’t leave a major impact crater. And back in the day it might even be the case of the perceived cause contributing more to the decline of a city or even an empire than the physical damage.

If a meteor hit blows up your town when you have no ability to comprehend what just happened other than god/gods are angry you gonna move to a less cursed place.

It can also cause social impacts such as the toppling of a given religious or leadership class because they angered the gods.

Nope. And he has links to his blogs about what he doesn't like.

--- start quote ---

I used wget to download all 1,217 of the W3C specifications which have been published at the time of writing, of which web browsers need to implement a substantial subset in order to provide a modern web experience. I ran a word count on all of these specifications. How complex would you guess the web is?

The total word count of the W3C specification catalogue is 114 million words at the time of writing. If you added the combined word counts of the C11, C++17, UEFI, USB 3.2, and POSIX specifications, all 8,754 published RFCs, and the combined word counts of everything on Wikipedia’s list of longest novels, you would be 12 million words short of the W3C specifications.

I conclude that it is impossible to build a new web browser. The complexity of the web is obscene. The creation of a new web browser would be comparable in effort to the Apollo program or the Manhattan project.

It is impossible to:

- Implement the web correctly

- Implement the web securely

- Implement the web at all

Starting a bespoke browser engine with the intention of competing with Google or Mozilla is a fool’s errand.

Agriculture isn't the only way to sustain moderately-sized populations, it's just the most efficient in the short term. Semi-passive cultivation is arguably more sustainable because you don't encounter the issues of deforestation, soil depletion, and centralization of resources.

Nomadism doesn't preclude semi-permanent settlements, especially as migratory patterns retrace sites.
Agreed, I just had a strong stomach churn thinking about the slightly crazy eyed, chipper, vision board writing, medium article writing, HR types who who act like they're some kind of middle school camp counselor..."Today, tell me three things that made you sad, silly me..it's the 2021? Take a selfie of yourself telling your friends what makes you sad" f'ng yikes.

I haven't looked at this closely, but 6502 really doesn't lend itself to C compilation. Three registers, only one of which works with the ALU, awkward immovable stack, etc.

The 65816 is a better target (moveable direct page and stack and some wider registers), but also awkward with its register mode switching.

Tell HN: iCloud Mail web app has a new look
Probably many of you don't know this because you use the app on your iPhones. I don't iPhone, so I often log in to my iCloud via the web. Just noticed it has a new style. I think it's the only major overhaul for the last 3 or 4 years at least.

I heard previously they build iCloud web apps using SproutCore. I wonder if this is still the case.

I replaced a Nook with an Aura One after the page turning buttons started failing. On the one hand the main thing I miss is the page turning buttons, which were great in the winter because I could read a book with my hands under a blanket and the book above it. But on the other, the Kobo should last longer without that failure point.

It's waterproof too, though again being touch only and no buttons it's not great to turn pages if it's wet.

Had UNIX been sold at the same price as VMS and other systems back in the day, without any kind of source code available, history would have taken another path.
JavaScript is not much better. With extremely few exceptions and thousands of various exploits to bypass browser protections/sandboxing, not to mention the horrible privacy violations it enables (well being cookies), I personally consider JS just as bad. Sure it’s an open standard where Flash wasn’t, but beyond that it offers very little beyond slick interfaces that hog CPU and a plethora of ways to trick users into unknowingly violating their privacy or at worst, literally running active exploit code.

Yeah, Flash has tons of security problems for sure and I’m glad it’s dead, but JS fanboys live in a glass house, so throwing stones is ill-advised.

I would expect the total costs to be $1,500 or more, meaning the employer is also paying > $1,000/mo for this plan. That's $18,000 annually that didn't go to each employee.
Thanks for the website feedback!

We did generate most of the prompts ourselves but there's a pretty broad range:
- Getting to know each other better through sharing funny weird stories, music that's shaped you, stories from childhood, etc
- Sharing small moments in your day-to-day life: things that made you smile, times you were frustrated, weird morning routines, etc
- Improving mental wellness by reflecting on your priorities, how you take care of yourself, or things that you're worrying about these days

The phenomenon is interesting, but the logical through line of this article is utterly tendentious:

(1) Some women hire themselves out to rich 'sugar daddies'

(2) Some of those women are professed feminists

(3) Women become 'sugar babies' because of feminism

Blaming this trend on MeToo is just bizarre. I note that (2) is a simple assertion.
