HN seems to be the least echo-chamber groupthink general population around excluding a few topics where one position is particularly popular. I think this is mostly because of the high quality moderation of dang and associated cultural norms here.
Because echo chamber is distant from the rest of people. Distant-> withdrawn or numb ( both anger emotions )

I don't use Twitter for politics. It's a cesspool where the biggest assholes win.

That makes a lot of sense. Still, risky click as I misread that last word very much.
No. But looking at the site Caddy appears to be a product for easy and quick deployment, so that zero-knowledge people can run a web server. Their point is unlikely to be performance, it is probably in the lines of "low code".
It will be interesting to see how Twitter changes as a result. Twitter with selective following and setting your timeline to 'time order' creates a pretty good environment for me. It feels like the equivalent of living in only a few chosen 'subreddits' rather than getting the full frontal reddit experience.
Interesting - it could be that the reality is harder than the headline.
I just aggressively unfollow anyone who talks about politics, either right or left. I also unfollow anyone whose average tweet rate is > 0.5/day. Works fine for me, but I understand that would just kill the whole experience for many people.
I agree, but is Twitter really suffering with any engineering problems? I generally would like to see a CTO come in charge but here's a unique case where someone from product might be more suitable.
I agree with you that Twitter's feature velocity has been terrible. Although in the last year or so they've definitely been trying more new things, so maybe they've finally fixed the internal barriers to that.

But I'm not getting what you think "Twitter for the masses" should be. The current value prop is something like, "globe-spanning discussion around hot topics". Fewer people care about that than "keep in contact with family and friends" or "look at pretty pictures". I don't see a mom-and-pop version of Twitter in the same way that I don't see a mom-and-pop version of the WSJ or the NYT. The mom-and-pop version of the NYT is perhaps USA Today, but that's not an expanded product, just a different one.
My recollection was that the Washington Monument has an aluminum cap on account of the material's status as a precious material at the time. What I found at the below link is a story of "fake it until you make it" pushing of materials science and self-promotion worthy of an HN read.

Isn't it ironic that the CEO of Twitter has to announce his departure in a screenshot?
The article is almost two years old already. I think the submitter might have wanted to contribute this angle exactly because of the change in leadership at Twitter.
I used to feel this way. Then I unfollowed all political/current events/venting Twitter and started following creators and retrocomputing types. It's very enjoyable now.
Gas fees have been too high since Cryptokitties in 2017. Actually, even before Ethereum launched, anyone with a calculator could have predicted the scaling issues. After all, bitcoin was never built for millions of consumers to transact onchain.

And yet, Ethereum and Bitcoin have succeeded despite design flaws. It goes to show that you can do much better by serving a niche with massive demand (speculators, darknet users) than trying to build a Product for Everyone.

I don't expect a Product for Everyone to come from the Ethereum or Bitcoin communities, communities rife with tribalism and whose insiders are billionaire ideological extremists, totally out of touch with normies. That much of the media coverage of crypto, such as this article, is inaccurate doesn't help matters; insiders increase their tribalism and anti-establishment angst, and outsiders increase their confusion.

So I do hope that R&D into layer 1 and consensus tech doesn't relent. As it stands, the highest bandwidth chain (Solana) makes significant sacrifices in decentralization -- SOL is hyper concentrated in VC/whale/Core Team hands, and the Core Team plays a huge role as Kingmaker, picking winning projects to signal-boost -- and there is not yet a chain with reasonable bandwidth and PRIVACY.

In the people's imagination, blockchain is a privacy technology. But in actuality, it's a panopticon. Until the gap from perception to reality closes, this market is ripe for disruption.
This is about people leaving the company Twitter as employees, not about people unsubscribing from the service.
Serious question: What does making an announcement while the market is closed actually do? Are you not just throwing money to the people willing to trade after hours?
#1 reason, and, think back to when iOS came out, was security. The knock off effect was it ensured that ios/webkit gained defacto marketshare for each device since there was no other option - as the thread starter mentions. I disagree with the contention about innovation - keeping IOS from being a minefield for 99.9999% of users I think was the right course. And killing off flash.
There's a lot of confirmation bias at work, IMO.

Some bicycle riders are indeed very bad people. They think they have the right-of-way in every scenario and will run red lights and act like the car drivers are the assholes when they almost get hit by cross-traffic that has the green. Drivers usually only notice the asshole bicyclists.

But in some cases, drivers need to get over the fact that bicyclists exist and understand that sometimes the actions of a bicyclists, while inconvenient for the driver, are the safest. For example, bicyclists do not belong on sidewalks. In areas with a lot of pedestrians (like downtown city blocks), a bicyclist is going to be incredibly limited in their speed on the sidewalk. In suburbs, a bicyclist on the sidewalk is less likely to be seen by a driver and is more likely to get hit by a car making a turn, especially if there are cars parked on the curb. In some states, it's actually illegal for bicyclists to ride on the sidewalk.

When they ride in the middle of the lane, it's not to be a dick. It's because there are dick drivers that will pass them and give them only a couple inches of space, which is dangerous. By riding in the middle, when a driver passes, it gives them a lot of room to move to the right if they feel the driver isn't giving them adequate space.
From context clearly a mistake when writing.
The most critical piece of technology in an oxygen-rich staged combustion engine like the RD-180 is reportedly the metallurgy for an oxidizer-rich preburner.

But the required metallurgy is no longer exclusive to Russian engineers -- SpaceX's Raptor (which is a full-flow staged combustion engine) has an oxidizer-rich preburner on the oxidizer side of the engine.
The word limit might in theory encourage it, but in practice twitter certainly does not require it. In fact, you're generally better off being overnice, imprecise, and livid. People could tweet a poem, but they don't.
Macintosh was the first consumer oriented computer designed entirely around a graphical user interface. It's remarkable how little has changed in the basic design since 1984. This very young Susan Kare was Apple's graphical designer at the time and is responsible for all of its icons among other things, many which survive to this day.

The modern Macintosh Finder is a usability disaster compared to the original Macintosh Finder.
Agreed it’s probably the best discussion forum. My point was that even the best has the tendency to become an echo-chamber.

It’s worth reading Christakis’s 2009 book “Connected: Surprising power of social networks”. It’s mind blowing that social networks are not regulated to some form. I don’t mean censorship but meme-acceleration and propagation of information needs to be curbed. Unfortunately it goes against engagement metrics and will never happen.

iOS supports WebGL 2.0 now.

"browser input is terrible for 3D" doesn't make sense. The web version of game streaming services like Stadia use browser input and they work fine.

Offline storage of gigabytes of assets is tough, that's a valid criticism. But that is not a deal breaker for many applications. Hopefully we'll see more movement on this.

A lot of the load time issues with web games are just bad software architecture and can be solved by the same techniques web developers use: breaking assets and code into modules loaded on demand instead of giant monolithic wasm binaries or asset packs.
> but you're being cagey about sharing those requirements.

I don’t have one single set of requirements for every location I use a web server. Nobody does.

If Caddy is good for one thing but not so good for other things, why is it so hard to come out and say that?

Also, the benchmark I was questioning in the opening comment came from mholt on the official community forum. It’s mind boggling that I’m getting attacked for questioning the benchmark result that they provided in the first place.
That is a good one! And pretty easy to measure as well.

Fwiw, this isn't my experience. My following list is remarkably stable, and I've only had to prune people "falling of the wagon" once or twice. It's also not much work: you see their tweet, remember that they've done thus more than once recently, and click unfollow.

The main cost is that this isn't conducive to a very large following list, but perhaps that's a good thing.
Are you implying that there is some Moral Good in compliance with laws that prevent you from escaping an inflationary environment damning you and your loved ones to starvation?
Yes — it's been in use for years, with some examples here:

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/activist-investor.asp

It's important to remember that in common usage “activist” doesn't mean anything other than trying to change how a company is run — there isn't the connotation of social values or similar which the term has in common usage.
To be fair, it's not like we hide who the system's set up to serve. It's right there in the name. Capital - ism.

> And most surprisingly,

I don't think that it is surprising at all. I wouldn't call it friendship, but if a group of people who share a common political goal that opposes others, thinks that their group is a majority who will win a vote by a big margin, then those people are less likely to vote. See Brexit. Or maybe even the 2016 US election, where most people seemed assured that Clinton would win, and perhaps because of that didn't vote (also because they didn't get Bernie as a candidate.)
It would probably be the saddest thing I could ever imagine. I don't know how you could dramatize Googling ISO standards, but at that point I'd probably rather put on the Kardashians...
This is such a good question. I wondered for a long time when it first became available and couldn't come up with any practical uses either.

The main motivation for wanting one for me is likely connected to how my first experience into computers was on an Atari 400 home computer and the Pi 400 very much looks/feels like a retro homage to it and its kind. The best uses I could imagine would be as a lightweight terminal/client and/or as target spec hardware for making 8-bit like games in various programming languages/engines.

Edit: I just came up with a new way to use it. I often wonder if/when I can use my phone as a computer with a real OS. Using a Pi 400 with a phone for a display could fit the bill, especially if you DIY the 400 with portable power. I don't think there's a phone that can be a display while providing power via USB-C (as some LCD monitors can do).

So you obviously don’t build apps for iOS Safari and I can understand as a user why you might be under the misguided impression that it’s a good browser. As our primary target environment it is an uphill battle to get things to work in a way that it’s not on either Firefox or blink based browsers.

It breaks in every major version that’s been released. Simply talk to any developer who has to do a significant amount of work building apps in Safari and they will tell you the same thing.

The webkit team is talented and do great work but this is simply a result of a decade of underfunding and it’s just not possible for them to maintain a modern browser with their current resources.
> The Caddy forum thread I linked to above highlighted a Tweet about Caddy being 20X more performant than nginx.

That's just saying Caddy _can_ be faster, it's not saying Caddy _is always_ faster. That was never claimed.

> when I just wanted to know how Caddy compares to nginx in the most broad terms

But that's impossible. There's no way to "generally" benchmark a web server. There's just way too many ways it can be used for any single benchmark to ever be valid.

Do your own benchmarks, for _your_ usecase. That's the only way you'll get any kind of real answer.

As the other person that answered to you pointed out, there's a point where your HTTP server becomes the bottleneck, ie your backend being more concurrent and faster at producing content than your server is at delivering it.

But I feel the real bottleneck is developer pain. I switched to nginx from Apache like everyone else because nginx was nice to use and Apache wasn't. The performance aspect was only a rationalization.
> There are many applications where performance really does matter.

Like what? Genuine question. I'm sure a cloud provider's layer 7 load balancer / Kubernetes Ingress would merit an optimized implementation but beyond those kinds of super-scale use cases I can't think of much.

I have been append-only to my list and it's been great. Only ever had to take Matt Yglesias off my list and that's because he tweets all the time.

The downside (maybe upside) is that I run out of Twitter content pretty fast.
Same, but I went the opposite direction and started following more people to curate my feed. I seldom unfollow anyone unless I feel any interaction with them is likely to have a high proportion of conflict or strong disagreement on values.

I considered a similar purge, but ultimately decided the variety and evolution of what I’m exposed to is better for my experience. I’ve also made several friends through Twitter (and even a short romantic relationship, which also led to me adopting a puppy who’s the light of my life!), so I’ve tended to keep a pretty open mind about the whole thing.
Twitter didn't make you feel anything, it's the people who uses twitter that made that to you.

Maybe we just should accept that we are not cognitively equipped to deal with all that comes with social media. It's just too much for our brains, and having a sane relationship with them requires an active effort to moderate who you follow.

Yes, they optimize por clicks and views, yet Twitter at least allows you total control of what are you consuming.

So if there's any social media out there that has both utility and allows control, it's Twitter.

FB it's another level of shady shit we can discuss another day.

I don't think this is ... necessarily the wrong thing.

Acknowledging that it is a difficult problem and you don't know how to solve it might be better than thinking you know how to solve it and doing something worse.

People are also quick to blame platforms without acknowledging that a lot of people are awful, the venue in which they practice their awfulness isn't necessarily at fault but it's easier to blame a thing which could be destroyed (religion, organization, social network, etc) than to acknowledge that this is a feature of humanity.

That's just very different than my experience. Across a number of years and a few different major languages, from coding solo to working with teams. The only tuning I have to do is to tell it that using more RAM is ok. I'm sorry you're having those problems, and if you ever want to dig in on fixing them, drop me a line.

This is mostly an issue if you use Twitter for politics. If you use it to follow people in topics that you're interested in/hobbies, this isn't really relevant. You don't really need to worry about an echo chamber among baking pages, or DIY home guides, etc.

Honestly, life was so much more peaceful once I curated my social media apps to focus on my hobbies and remove "general news/current events" from my feed, which are largely garbage. I'll look up info about candidates when elections roll around, the rest of the year, I don't want to hear the worthless bullshit in that space.
Yep! I think they’ve slowly learned to ship over the last 1.5 years.

Gotcha, honestly what I meant by mom-and-pop, I was thinking of growing Twitter just beyond the power user. Similar to you, I don’t believe twitter’s addressable market is as big as Facebook’s. If Facebook’s TAM is N, twitter’s is n where n<N. My main issue with them is that they’re actually 3/5ths of that n. I genuinely think they have an opportunity to make the product more accessible but they really have been not good :(. And I say this as a big Twitter fan!

True, but it's not like Twitter has suffered in popularity even without API access. We just have fewer cool bots, but the platform is full of bots already, and not of the interesting kind.

The claim can't be evaluated as "true or false", which is the point. The use cases for Caddy and similar software are too broad to be meaningfully approximated as a binary or scalar value.
It's really a you problem. The market share of Linux desktops is low enough that in reality it doesn't matter, and you're pulling the rug(binaries) from underneath a web browser (one of the most complex software projects known to man) and expect it to keep running flawlessly.

I'm using NixOS where every version of every dependency of every program I install will be saved until I cleanup the garbage (1 command) so I don't have your issue.

If this was Windows you wouldn't be able to update Firefox while it was running because Windows doesn't support overwriting open files (technically you can rename them and insert new ones with the same name, but that's not the point).

You're holding it wrong and blaming the project, close the software you update before you update and you might have more success.
