One common mistake in reasoning I see is overestimating how independent we really are. The author enjoys the feeling of independence, but at least some of it is illusory. It seems a little strange to me to draw a line in the sand about something like Let's Encrypt when, try as he might, he's not going to ever be able to enjoy complete independence, especially not on the web.
What I think is going on here, is that Telegram is hard coding the qwerty shortcuts for italics, Bold, etc. so ctrl+c on Dvorak actually causes telegram to process ctrl+i, italicizing the highlighted text instead of copying it to the clipboard. Same issue with ctrl+x / ctrl+v.

Same as with paying to see a Disney movie: entertainment. It's just a bit more interactive, since streamers are a bit more likely to interact with you after you give them money.
Counter thought: Trying to keep up is keeping you behind.

If you're in a stable employment situation, diving deeper into existing things you use will be more beneficial than knowing the tip of 10 different icebergs.

Learning something by doing a hello world or building a todo list app really skims the surface of what its like to work with that tech on a constant basis. After working in software development for a couple decades, I have the mindset that I can learn any of these if I need to, the underlying tech doesn't change that much.
Been using 9front on a Raspberry pi for many months as my primary coding environment.

Thinking about getting a better workstation for it, but so far, there's no real problem using a raspberry pi. (and you just don't need a ton of resources to make it work really well!)

This article is great and has very few errors. I won't point any out as they'd just be some old curmudgeonly person pointing out historical inaccuracies that don't really matter that much to a "here's how you can use Plan 9/9front".

Really nice!

I've been particularly excited about Plan 9 and 9front since the MIT licensing that happened this year. Great outcome, and I wish it'd have happened 10 years sooner!
I'd say in parts of Europe. E.g. in Slavic regions Telegram is popular. In other regions Signal. Among my circles FB messenger seems to be the most popular.
This may continue to work, as long as performance is not your primary consideration (you have little data and few queries), you don't have to evolve the schema much, and no programming errors or ad-hoc updates introduce data that fail to follow the schema at the DB level.

So, it might be adequate for a small and carefully maintained project, likely like many alternatives.

Or do you use a high-load, distributed, replicated / sharded Mongo configuration? Then I'd gladly listen to more details.
IF fits my natural appetite and is easy for me to adhere to. My problem with it is I've discovered eating a small breakfast (~250 cal) immediately when I wake up is the single greatest aid to keeping my sleep schedule stable. On IF, when my meals are at ~ 1 PM and ~7 PM, my tendency to sleep in/stay up/go on a >24 schedule is amplified.

If I instead do "morning IF" and just eat breakfast and lunch, I'm lethargic in the morning and afternoon and hungry to distraction in the evening.

Wrong juxtaposition. Ms Haugen argue it should be a government institution that manages this. This is ridiculous and should be denied by any responsible member of the legislative.

It seems increasingly likely that if FB keeps ignoring these concerns they're going to get hit with some sort of government regulation. So I still think it's in their long-term self-interest to try and avoid that happening, even if we assume profit is really all they care about.

Being part of tens of groups that sends you notifications constantly because someone's posted a picture of their cat but you don't leave not to offend anyone does not sound a cool thing to me.

If people need to send me some information they text me. If sending a text is too much for them maybe I did not really need to know what they wanted to send. If I want to communicate with my friends and family I call them like we used to do in the 20th century.

The closer comparison one can make the better, right?

Drinking coca cola isn't illegal or even looked down upon. Rape porn isn't advertisement for rape and is not meant to encourage people to rape. Coca cola advertisement/product placements is designed to make people buy it more.

The two cases are in my opinion very different.

Do you suggest rape porn or rape scenes in movies promote more rape in the real world? What about violence in video games? I don't claim to know the answer, but I've thought that was disproved (though I haven't really looked into it).
There is, you basically spend a year rewriting your profile step by step with garbage data. Then delete the garbage posts and replace them with other stuff. It's long and it takes effort.

I assume that when you do it all at once they will just disable you and keep the old snapshot in their facebook graph.
Stong language indeed.
Not really!

If you arbitrarily take $50k as a living wage then it's basically the top 2000 streamers who can make a living on Twitch. Random googling tells me there were approximately 8 million active streamers in September. Again arbitrarily assuming that 7 million of those are 'casual' and doing it for fun that means the percentage of streamers making a living wage is 0.002%.

Back of the napkin math but kinda depressing.

Edit: Someone on Twitter told me that Affiliate status is pegged around the top 3% of streamers. So taking that as my new baseline for "trying to make it" since you can actually get paid out, it raises the percentage to a whopping 0.008%!
I think it would be acceptable if it's automated at the DNS level. You need to have a trust hierarchy anyway to resolve a name, so you can piggyback the same trust hierarchy to encrypt and secure all communications.

In the fee paid for the domain name, the owner should get perpetual free secure DNS and certificates for any purpose and sub-domain.

The current issuance of (non-EV) certificates is an unsecure hack over DNS anyway[1], so why not merge certificate issuance at the protocol level?

>Browsers will deprecate plain HTTP sooner or later.

This is a stupid idea, it means the browsers will not be compatible with old websites, if they drop http I hope they would first drop all the other old stuff that are bad and no longer cool.

A big warning should be enough, old websites should still work in a competent browser.

Quite often you have several applications that look up each other's data, but mostly write to their own tables.

Not true where and when I grew up (germany, in the 90s). Playing around with computers wouldn't get you any points with the ladys but it wasn't considered "weird", either.

Around 1992, it was totally normal to ask for a C64 or Amiga 500 for Christmas, if one was interested in such a thing and by 1995/96, there were only a handful of people left at school who had no access at all to a personal computer at home. By 2000, basically everyone between the age of 16 and 30 had internet at home.

I don't think it quite is. There's references to phrases from founding documents - which Americans often invoke ("we the people", "shall not be abridged", etc). But there's still an awful lot of reference to "Founding Fathers" specifically. I'm not sure you can listen to more than a few hours of right wing radio in the US without someone invoking Madison, Jefferson or whoever else fits their particular talking point for that moment. The individuals' names, and their writings, are still very much referenced outside of individual slogans.

> Yes that is one very narrow and specific cause of the symptoms of depression. but it is by no means the only thing that causes depression in humans.

I think it's a problem of terminology really. Grief and depression look very similar to an outside observer and are often conflated, but there are several other mental states that all look pretty similar and are labeled under the umbrella of 'depression' too. Many of them are relatively temporary.

I think the kind of depression parent is talking about is the one that's behind the significant and rising percentage of people being diagnosed with, and treated for, depression. Over 10% of the population in the US is on an SSRI, and that cannot be a good sign for society.
On the contrary. HN loves humor. You just need to put some effort into it (or get lucky with timing).

To be fair, the number of millionaires is overall pretty low in numbers. Just some few dozen worldwide. Most top-streamers "only" earn as much as upper middle-class or less. Compared to other sketchy businesses, this seems relative ok. Be aware that those numbers are before taxes and are not including expenses, which can be quite high in the top league.
I don't know the details but it doesn't sound great if you can exfiltrate secret material – the seed? – from a device.

A good smartcard should generate its own keys, on device, and only divulge them when persuaded to do so by an electron microscope.

If HN had to discuss every daft, wrong rule in every country that offended our progressive, post-national sentiments, we would never have time to discuss compilers.

I don't think it is worth holding contact in that case. Contrary to popular belief is that you don't miss out on anything.

Business contacts are another matter, but every professional understands if you want to use other channels. Same principle applies. If they don't make the effort, it wasn't a good contact anyway, although there are side effects because convinience is important. A bit of excentricity isn't a deal breaker, on the contrary.

Clout chasing is exactly the angle social media tries to satisfy.
(Old) Pro-tip here. The regular brown rawl type plug works fine a lot of the time, but you want one with thicker plastic... and you don't necessarily need to pay more for it. Secondly in response to you point above...use a 7mm hole, not 8. It should take anything from a size 8-10 in good materials and a 12 in rubbish materials like soft brick. If you have problems some other tricks are to put a red plug inside the brown one, or drill a 5.5mm (red plug size) hole and stick a brown plug in it.

Most builders won't buy the nice Fischer ones for you, so have to improvise...

For places where you have a drywall dabbed to masonry you can have significant lateral movement between the plug in the masonry and the thing you are fixing on the outside of the plasterboard. That's where long plugged fixings massively help, where the plug reaches right through to the face of the dry lining.

What's missing here, IMO, is a party. Who's with him? Do you have defectors from the 2 parties? Independents or popular figures joining up? Candidates being stood?

A political party is not a manifesto, it's an organisation.

I actually think there's room for a party to start gaining ground in the US. There are so many elected offices that the surface area is huge. Great for "guerilla tactics." IE, earning easy victories by picking the battle..

Maybe your pick a thousand low key positions, and work on them. Standing a thousand candidates with success, even if the offices are minor, makes you a full fledged party by default.

Uncompetitive regional strongholds, are another opportunity. You could split the large party's vote and earn immediate relevance. You could even split the small party's vote and try to steal 2nd place. That might make you one half of a dichotomy the next time. You could run candidates in republican or democratic primaries. The primary electoral system is diverse, so you can choose to do this where it has a chance.

So, where's the party? Who's running? Where/what? Who else is involved?

A political manifesto is OK, I guess. A party manifesto... that would be a lot more interesting. What are you planning to do?
The main issue that doesn't seem to be reflected here is that it's really hard to have a database and your application in different locations. Latency and security are big components in the general equation and both might be affected by this.

There's a fascinating podcast (with transcript) at https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/segments/21121... about linguistic studies that show blue to be the last color named in virtually all languages. There was no blue in the Odyssey or the Iliad because the Greeks didn't have a word for it yet. It appeared a few centuries later. Same in other languages around the world. Centuries of writing with no reference to the color blue, and then one day it appears. The podcast is a good listen.
This. I've found that, whatever the project is, the velocity of a team in terms what they define as a "task" is pretty constant, surprisingly so even. In the end, just counting the outstanding tasks proved to be a good estimator of where we'd end up at the deadline.
In Lithuanian we also have "mėlynas" for blue, and "žydras" for light blue. They both are commonly used to describe the sky.
Curiously enough, our neighbours Latvians have "melnais" which looks similar to our "mėlynas", but actually means "black".
