> [For SPA] 'you will need a JS framework'

> Incorrect.

How to say "I haven't listened to the talk" without saying "I havent' listened to the talk".

The accompanying commentary to that slide is "Here's a non-exhaustive list of thing people will tell you are terrible about SPA: You will need to load a bloated JS framework. It's always bloated, of course."

And then he goes on to explore the validity of these claims ("They are largely valid").
I think you're putting the cart before horse with your conclusion. The reason that Facebook has been one of the only freely available discussion zone for the majority of the world isn't because of government, but in spite of it. The government didn't "allow" Facebook as though there is some permission system involved for setting up social media sites. The government is an unable to disallow it by the constitutional limits set by the 1st Amendment.
they might not even be after a fee – having locked in people keeps them in the industry. And that pays.

The distro of your choice from the small pool that you are given to choose from.

It's not a completely unrestricted choice.

That pool includes Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Fedora and a few others if I remember correctly, although it may have expanded since.

I'm not sure how straightforward rolling your own is.
I popped over for a glance, as I have been seeing a need for something very similar.

pricing 5 GBP per month - I read over that 4 times and it kept becoming 5 GB in my head... might I suggest adding $7 US per month and $80 per year perhaps.

then I checked the terms and I saw UK law - which has fluctuated a lot with content that is okay and not okay.. and then the word "obscene" is in there.. and other stuff that makes me wish this was hosted elsewhere.

perhaps for an extra X$ one can choose to host an instance on other locations and avoid some of the uk things I dunno.
And lets not forget the high cost of executing these apps not least to the environment.

The very first time I went to visit Hearst Castle, I wondered how come someone selling newspaper could be that rich half a century ago? Then I realized they were the "Google" and "Facebook" then.
Sure, you can interpret it that way! But the original complaint seemed to imply that a majority (ie more that 50%) of content/discussion here is about/by Silicon Valley topics/ people.

If 90% of usage is outside SV, that leaves plenty of room for content/discussion that is not focused on SV, which is exactly what we see.

But let’s not get into a debate about the meaning of vague terms like “heavily” :)

Maybe you missed the genocide that happened thanks to a rampant disinformation campaign on Facebook? Or the other more benign cases, like antivaxers (the classical ones, not vaccinating their kids against polio and measles) and co.

Can anyone seriously argue that disinformation on Facebook isn't dangerous? The only possible question should be what can we do about it to preserve debate, free speech, etc. while stoping the literally deadly parts.

That is the best example of looking at a system as something static.

Forget about the exceptionally large block, you need to measure what the blockchain is capable of handling on a long span of time. You will have my eyes and ears when BSV manages to handle average loads of multi-GB blocks during a whole day.
Microsoft had an UNIX OS long time ago. It was called Xenix.
One of the most frustrating thing is that WSL is not a booted Linux. Systemd and other things don't work out of the box even in WSL2. In WSL1 it is almost impossible to make Systemd work, and in WSL2 a wrapper is needed to create a SUID 1 (if I am not wrong) environment to emulate a booted environment. Other than this, the kernel used by WSL2 is a custom, Microsoft-tailored LTS version which may cause some problems if some program rely on very new syscalls.

Ask HN: How are you computing TPS for your DB?
AFAIK, most DBs don't have a built-in mechanism to measure TPS (Transaction Per Second) of a DB. So, I'm curious how your team computes it to measure the scaling of your DB.

They are simply using the term "in demotic and in decrepit use" to indicate almost its opposite. It is not always easy to find terms (some in the end use the formula "so-called religions"); a possibility could be 'fideism', but it was "hijacked" (legitimately, this time) to mean something different. Even the expression 'blind faith' would be improper, because "faith" there may mean "grit, persistence" (where a degree and a pre-vetted version of "blindness" is functional). But certainly, if the poster used the almost-oxymoron «religion believed in», of course what was meant was very different from what the terms should have meant.

To move to the positive content of that post, the idea could be simply that of "focus": when exposed to mental poison it may work not to re-enforce it by giving it attention (during rational analysis you could treat the poison as an assumption (also in broad outside logic terms: much poison comes not in form of statements), which brings the risk of reinforcing it - it is not easy to "handle with care"), and instead return focussing on the clean and let the subconscious systems at least pre-digest it. De-power ideas (etc.) by refusing attention feed.

Which oddly enough, is one of the techniques practitioners had to meet.

Cryptocurrency is much better understood as a social phenomenon than a technical one. The reason for the hype is very simple, people who have already bought into it greatly benefit financially from creating more hype. They also have a lot to lose from the bubble bursting (savings, jobs, companies, friendships). So from just a few free market extremists who think this is a good idea for ideological reasons, it can sustain itself indefinitely as long as it keeps roping in more people. Hence nfts for artists, web3 for web devs etc.

As always with reaching megacorps: any official channel would be hopelessly flooded with spam, so your only hope is to reach an employee through alternative means. Usually a sufficienlty large Titter storm is the most robust way. But, as illustrated here, luck can be had on any social network.
Web3 isn’t about to replace text messaging tech, at least not yet.

A more apt example that exists already is a digital art marketplace[1]. The burden of maintenance for the media lies on the users (those publishing & collecting the assets), and hosting is done in a peer to peer manner through IPFS[2]. The maintenance for the site (servers, indexing) can be funded & incentivized through (for example) a small % cut on all trades as a maintenance fee. In an ideal platform, these fees would be directed to a wallet that is collaboratively controlled by a number of shareholders who have an interest in continuing to support the project.

Most importantly though, and one of the core aspects that tends to be lost in these discussions, is that the assets themselves are typically decentralized. If the platform fails or a fork is desirable (eg: community wants a different direction than the original founders), the assets still live on the blockchain, and a new platform can easily emerge on top of the same data if there is enough interest. This is where you get the idea of “users own their data, and websites must compete to display/facilitate it”—a radically different paradigm than what we have seen in the past.

The US was no more willing to export vaccines under Biden than Trump, the media were just less interested in criticising the new president. Same with border restrictions: Biden attacked Trump's as counterproductive in his campaign, then got into office and immediately insisted on reimposing them unchanged and keeping them way beyond the point they made any kind of sense, but the media lost interest in criticising those as well.

Wait, isn’t python startup slow because of the interpreter startup and not process creation itself? A thread also has to be created (saves dll mapping time but that’s it) and python state also has to be initialized in a complete isolation on that thread (means setting up the entire scene again and loading stdlib from sources). Am I wrong?

I don't know why you are focusing on the stupid coins. The idea that we do away with the debt system is insane. The debt ceiling was never used for any fiscal reasons, it's always turned into a political weapon and the consequences are just plain stupid.
From what I understand it’s the users. Right now if you want to run a smart contract on something like Ethereum you have to pay ‘gas’ which is the cost of execution on the VM and on top of that you have to tip the miner who ends up executing the code. A bigger tip gets you priority. A more complex piece of code that needs to be executed sooner is more expensive.

I’d guess for something like real-time chat you’d want another chain that could resolve transactions much faster and cheaper than Ethereum could and would have to buy their tokens to use it. Then hope that speculators don’t push up the price until using it for the intended purpose is in feasible.

I think Intel designs specifications for x86 platform, not MS. And someone should do it after IBM quit doing it.

Otherwise we would have the same level of fragmentation in x86 hardware space that we have in Linux software or that we see in ARM space. Much less compatibility.

Yes sure it can, create a usable (chrootable) Linux From Scratch rootfs tarball and import it using wsl --import, and everything should be fine. Though don't forget to remove the kernels because WSL don't load them, instead WSL uses a custom kernel shipped with the Windows system.
Been using since yhe beginning of wsl without major problems, while working on music production without dualbooting. I probably haven't boot up linux for about a year.. this strategy apparently works for many.

It is not the norm no, as multiple people have pointed out to you. The norm is to use they when uncertain. You’ve been given plenty of examples but persist in your denial. I wonder why you want to police how other people speak and connect this with some bizarre right wing conspiracy (wokeness)?

Buddy the consequences of 7 billion people living beyond the planet's means aren't just visible. They're a fucking rocket flare in the darkness on a clear night. How are you not seeing this?

Our water sources are polluted. Our oceans are acidifying. We've strip mined our topsoil. Our rainforests are at a tipping point, on the verge of catastrophic loss. Did you see those fires in Australia last year? Disastrous weather events are up 83% in only twenty years. Top strategists and CEOs are preparing for water wars and refugee crises.

And you're here telling us there's no need to limit growth, that doing so is criminal, that the environmentalist cult predictions are failing? In the comments of an article about how there's no American Bumblebees in eight states, which was predicted 20 years ago? WTF Broseph.

Late replying, but who exactly do you think is going to lead this? Firefox is so bloated at this point precisely because there's a mandate to make it fast and support new web features. There are so many Rust dependencies that I can't even build Firefox on a computer with "only" 16 GB of RAM because it runs out of memory while compiling gkrust and freezes the computer or hangs the build.

Starting from scratch doesn't have a chance at this point. The web is too complex for a volunteer team to build a brand new browser. So the only option is a fork of Firefox, but most of the people who have the time, energy, and ability to work on fully understanding the Firefox code base probably work for Mozilla.
I think it would be much easier to just design another POSIX compatible OS and give users some incentive over Linux: stable ABI, stable API, software and hardware that just works out of the box and don't need configuration and maintenance.
There is a ton of useless hype and noise in crypto/blockchain/web3, and this is what the average person is probably exposed to.

There are also some new and interesting paradigms however, that enable different systems and possibilities on the web than what we can achieve with our traditional, centralized walled gardens and payment services. See here for an idea:

I still think that WindWolf or WaterWolf would have been better. Like it though :)
The thing about tech interviews, is they're not just testing you, but also ensure your colleagues are at a minimal viable level. The alternatives are:

- You only hire folks with prestige; pulling the ladder up for everyone else.

- You fire fast; potentially screwing up peoples lives.

- You carry dead weight that slows everyone else down.

Of course, some of the interviews go a bit far. I had one with at ~15 calls, at least 7 of them "interviews". Most of them went well enough, but the architectual was somewhat egregious where I was asked a bit of a trick question, asked some clarifiying questions and got conflicting statements. I asked for a redo, and got a nope, then ended up in the weirdest offer stage I've experienced.

I try to keep that in mind when people propose we add more hurdles to our process. :)

> There are lots of standard functions still missing, but rather than implement them as built-ins, they can be implemented from the primitives already available.

I'd be interested in reading more about this. For example, how was that set of primitives chosen? How does the author know that the set of primitives is sufficient?

Let's say Facebook or someone else builds a popular social network on web3. How is this new incarnation better than the one we have today?
Nobody says it's not a conflict of interest. The same conflict can be said to all massive media reporting FB bad news, as they compete in the big pool of ads money, right?
Web3 seems like the attempt to hype a solution to a largely non-existent problem in order to "keep the music playing". There are many actors with large financial stakes in the crypto ecosystem that will do anything to keep the masses to put money into the system. We've seen that with NFTs earlier this year, where a concerted effort was made to create hype e.g. by auctioning NFTs via Sothesby's for 8-figure amounts (one does wonder why you'd need Sotheby's in the world of decentralized finance), which seems to have worked as people now pay thousands of dollars for worthless GIFs. But in order to keep the price rally going you need to make people pour more and more money into the system every year. Hyping decentralized apps just seems like the next logical step here.

I found it quite hilarious though to see the diagram in the article that explains how a decentralized Web3 app is supposed to replace a traditional centralized system, which ended up being plastered with the logos of companies whose proprietary commercial solutions you need to operate a dApp.
