Why wouldn't it have come to this? Every revolution in communications (printing, radio, telephones, TV) came with an explosion of consumer demand and industries/jobs to serve it. The internet revolution is no different. If anything, it's more profound since coupling a more capable communications medium with the ability to execute logic against the information received is really two revolutions in one (three if you count the concurrent rise of wireless data over cellular networks).

That being said, if you prefer not to work in web technologies, those jobs certainly exist: middleware/platforms, embedded systems/IOT, some of the stuff FAANG does, etc. Remember, all those people writing web stuff rely on a very tall stack of layers and platforms to do what they do. You can find these jobs, with a little patience and persistence.

You can still apply a session id to the client and destroy the session after the user clicked on logout…
I wish Linux worked on my main work laptop, but with the current state of nvidia prime its just a non starter. I spent 3 days trying to get even basic graphics switching going when in windows its seamless
I’m also self studying mathematics on the path to a “DIY statistics degree” (currently revisiting Calculus as well). I imagine there is a fair bit of overlap between what you’re doing. Would be interested in hearing more about how you’re handling your education journey.
Great question. This is a downside, there is no built-in method, but there are some tricks. If I remember correctly you can send headers with incorrect credentials. I’ll have to do some research and add that to my template.

Laptops have always been a compromise between portability, battery life, thermals, and performance. In my opinion, Visual Studio was never meant to run well on a laptop.
Does anybody know how this affects performance rights?
They cost billion of dollars but they are also supporting places that also pays a lot more taxes.

With suburbia, you get low cost infrastructure, but also low tax revenue. You better hope that your tax revenue exceeds the costs of supporting suburbia.
This is _exactly_ my take on Twitter, I noped out of it and other social media 2 years ago and I feel much happier.

(For the pedants: no, forums like this are not social media.)

A few news orgs in my area have a jury going which every month selects ten non-fiction books. I regularly buy one off of that list. It's in German though. While some of the books are originally English, they only provide the translated title and the list is of limited use if you don't read German.

Assuming you have a job already what skills do you feel are lacking that you could brush up on? IMO it makes little sense to pick up on tech for the sake of trends or popularity unless it helps with either finding a job or being more effective at your current one.

Having said that a great deal of being senior is possessing people skills - communication, being able to give feedback etc. That’s what I would focus on - learning tech should be the east part!
You know what would be a really nice HN feature.. when you submit a URL it can be flagged as "pay per view" and I can have a profile setting to filter them out.
He is referring to 20th century social services meant to fix slums, that wound up making marriage something that could get you kicked out of public housing and on-books work something that could get you kicked off financial support. This is often blamed for making everything worse and contributing to the social disaster zones that were the large public housing projects in northern cities.
You grouped all social mores into a single reason and provided a criticism at the same time. That suggests you have entirely failed to consider them deeply; we did not gain our social mores in one fell swoop.

I don't think even the social mores of breaking bread or offering your guests food and water came from the same place.
Yes, to me "completely solves 1)" would mean using mono/etc for the other platforms and having a .net compatible system working seamlessly for all of them.

(Then you could get the same critiques as java web start.)
The graphs you mentioned are about cost per watt, an important metric, but not panle conversion efficiency.
While your point is correct: It's not design with a logout in mind, but you can do it. For instance clicking link that will send invalid credentials, that will return a 401 and work like a logout.

Mostly I just close my browser, that clear everything in my setup.
Both Delta and Omicron came from severely and notoriously undervaccinated countries. They’re prime examples as to why we need first world countries to help with equitable access to vaccines everywhere.

Unmitigated spread accelerates evolution. Mitigating the spread slows it down.

Send an ajax request to your api with invalid credentials. The response returns a 401 and loggs the user out. Then redirect to the pre-login page.

No business likes Visa or Mastercard, but from the consumer’s point of view it’s some combination of: Short-term loans, an insurance and shield against fraud, and a well-established method of cashless payment.

Does bitcoin or other cryptocurrency address the former two?
I tend to agree with you about generic awesome lists, but this one seems useful as a reference. Bookmarking for the next time I can't remember what the Lindy Effect is called.

..wait, it doesn't include the Lindy Effect :D
Cameras/behavior monitoring which will produce interesting results. The system will either have to be sensitive enough to produce 'false' alerts due to tired & distracted drivers while it will certainly allow a chronic drinker and alcoholics drive well above the legal BAC.

Measuring passive cabin air seems nearly impossible. A highly intoxicated passenger would easily produce false positives. One option I guess is to measure the BAC at every single seat to establish a baseline. I still don't see how this could work if the windows are down.

There are a few other options such as measuring sweat (doesn't work if you wear gloves or some skin conditions), thermal/blood flow imaging (inconsistent between individuals and would have race/genetic biases), etc.

IMO anything beyond detecting erratic movements of the steering wheel and accelerator is going to have a lot of problems.
I'm storing sessions now? jesus what a disaster.
I don't understand why people are interested in keeping the implementation details of the internet exposed. There was a reason we came up with TLDs and such, and you had to type in http vs ftp vs https etc. But there's no reason to be constrained by these detalis. If the computer can figure it out? good.
They have to balance the willingness of people to accept copyright as fair with the few benefits extending copyright even further would have. At this point the few bits of intellectual property that will become public domain are so few and mainly of historic interest, that a protracted lobbying attempt (which could fail) would do more harm to their brand than just defending trademarks and existing copyrighted works.

I think the generally held view of the major content owners is that the current (absurdly protracted) limits are good enough.
But if you are rolling your own auth, you still need to create the signup, change password, reset password, confirm account, delete account, etc. pages. What's one more? Given that a logon form is >5% of the total amount of work to roll auth, seems kinda pointless to use this.
> if DeFi (crypto etc.) goes mainstream it will have a devastating effect on nations ability to track and tax commerce

This gels with the parent comment. States which heavily restrict devices and connectivity will have no problem tracking and taxing. Those which rely on a progressive tax system, or feature privacy rights, will.

Keep in mind that, for most of human history, commerce was not traced by rulers. The simplest tax is a headcount tax. You pay the tax or bad things happen to you. That some people literally cannot pay is unfortunate but unavoidable.
A remembering problem exists with the main TLDs though. Alice's Home Cleaning Service needs a website, but the one she wants is taken, so she starts doing weird things with the domain: alicehomecleaning.com alice-homecleaning.com alice-home-cleaning.com alicehc.com

These domains are also worthless. I can say I would find something like alicehome.services a lot more memorable.

And with advertising, it's more about continuous exposure. So I see the alicehome.services car around town for the third time and say, "oh there's that weird domain again".
Thanks for the explanation, though I think I still don't quite understand it. Is there something that's required to be provided by Blackberry on either side to make this work? I would have kind of expected that 2G/3G/etc. are device-agnostic and would work with just about any device with a valid SIM card trying to connect to the network.

I know someone who's using an older pre-Android Blackberry, so I'll have to figure out for them if they need to get a new phone next week. As they only use it very occasionally, I'd be glad if they could keep using it for simply making calls.

Probably a stupid question, but wouldn’t all lead have started decaying at the same time? Why would lead only start to decay once it has been mined?
Yes, ofc I meant the aggressivity would come after they invade Taiwan and transform it into a colony. My English is sometimes awkward but the British could have switched to French when we invaded them. Sadly we all learned the hard way France couldnt maintain... an "aggressive colony" in England either hehehe

As a half-related aside, I think the solution is what we eventually did with the EU, a mutually assured dependency that would force everyone to keep the peace we longed for millenia, and I think the British forgot a bit too fast the vain inter massacres our ancestors rushed into at each disagreement when they yelled for Brexit to give them back their "independence".

Wish China could see it but afraid they have to try every other stupid way first :( Praying for the British and us our fishing disagreements and submarines rifraf dont escalate. Could Taiwan compromise with a soft border economic Union called the Greater China Union that would make everyone cool down ? Meh.
A year ago, the thought that so many people would reject vaccines that can help end the pandemic was unrealistic.

Soooo…
Wouldn't you need to the substantial workload of PBKDF2 (et al) for each and every HTTP request? Maybe have the images, JS, CCS etc handled by a separate server, but there's still going to be many requests that need to be authenticated for.
Is there room for those of us who believe the mRNA vaccines are effective at reducing transmission and severe disease yet don’t want to relegate our fellow citizens to second class status for not wanting to inject themselves with something they’re not sure about? We seem all too ready to ruin the lives of those who don’t want the jab.
That sounds like you get a lot of good utility out of it. A lot of it are things were I would have expected a mobile use case, but maybe there is value in explicitly making it two steps: rough recording in telegram and later taking the time to go over it again and put it more nearly into Glados.
That goes without saying, and it's just unfortunate that he chooses to compete rather than collaborate
I find HTTP basic auth very useful to "protect" gitlab, wiki, forum, et al. internal resources exposed to the internet. With a simple apache/nginx config it is possible effectively to hide those from the intenet and in addition to their built-in authentications (ldap-based) have a fense reliable enough to prevent zero-day vulnerabilities of these populular web applications. Having them as sub-folders of a single web-domain (with proper rewrites added to apache/nginx) prevents numerous HTTP basic auth requests so authentication is required just once after the browser has been restarted.

This is pretty inspiring/challenging.

It's easier .. but then, I don't complain about being socially inept either

The Swartz case was more about an overzealous US Attorney looking for scalps than copyright.

It also highlights the ridiculously broad law at the Federal level that essentially allow US Attorneys to function like medieval inquisitors than prosecutors of a democratic state. Copyright happened to be the pretense.
Great idea for a thread! I have two interests for a collaboration.

Interest 1) Study buddies to exchange domain knowledge between web App Design and Hardware Engineering.

Basic idea: We teach each other stuff from our area of expertise. While you one learn a lot these days from books and Youtube and online tutorials, there is no substitute to asking an expert and getting unblocked quickly.

Me: Electrical Engineer who has years of experience designing consumer and aerospace electronics. I am on a journey to learn more about Web App development and what it takes to build a successful SaaS app in 2022. Some tech that I am looking to learn the basics of : HTML, CSS, Javascript, Node, React, Django, WebAssembly.

You: You know your way around full stack web development, and you are looking to learn about hardware engineering. Posts like below resonate with you. I would like to be study buddies with an individual like that :) My email is in the about section.

Interest 2) Offline first collaboration tools in the electronic CAD tool space.

CRDT technology has been growing fast recently. I am interested in applying the principles of offline-first software and CRDTs to new tools in the electronic CAD tool space (think: tools used to design circuit boards). If any devs are looking to get their hands dirty with applying CRDTs to real world problems, would love to chat. Thinking of contributing to open source tooling in the electronic CAD tool space. I also think there is a market to support an open-core SaaS here.
Open source projects with no backing run by a single overworked and unpaid developer, yeah, but the legal arm of billion dollar open-source company Redhat definitely going to try some shenanigans if you somehow managed to gain ownership of redhat.com
This is a great comeback. But I don't understand the reference to Ravi Vakil. Is Ravi known for being humble or something?

This has many flaws that make it impractical beyond hobby projects or projects with a small set of users:
- It's trickier to throttle credential checks as every request is a login request, effectively
- It's hard to easily build account recovery flows or captchas into the login process.
- The UX of logging in/out is browser-dependent and confusing for users
- it can't integrate well with other auth systems
- Sending a password on every request requires care to avoid accidentally logging passwords
- Every request needs to do password validation, presenting additional load on the authentication systems/datastores
That can be a problem because there's still a high chance of frost, not least because the coldest period of winter is still ahead of us: when it's too mild and plants start to bud early they run the risk of being burnt by frost later on...

Super cool, as long as you can change the font on your terminal! Programming fonts are really aweful for reading prose...
Last time I used HTTP basic auth, we've had a page which would unconditionally send 401 error code -- it'd invalidate credentials cache (effectively logging out the user) and then pop up new credentials dialog. I am not sure how standard-complaint this was, but it seemed to work in most browsers.

One downside is that in trivial implementation (/logout page returning 401), you'll end up with credential prompt where no credentials work, and this can be pretty confusing if someone leaves the compute in that state. I think it can be worked around with "expiration" URL parameter or a cookie, but this is somewhat finicky to setup.
Let's just say that I want to create text file with 3d coordinates of an object (cube or sphere),
and my software renderer shoould read this file and display it on the screen. And I can zoom in/out,
change coordinates of vertecies with a mouse, rotate and move it.
This cube can be wired or colored and if it wired I want to see which edges are visible and which are not.
And to render this cube I want to use only setpixel/drawline functions from win api or sdl.
Thanks for the links.
I am thinking from a development perspective something like an easy set of React Hooks that essentially allow you to utilize CRDTs etc. without having to know much more about them than the operations available (add, delete, etc.)

From a user perspective, I am thinking that getting support for a local first approach is as simple as installing a Dropbox style service locally that enables storage and syncing across your devices. Applications written in a local first style would automatically then take advantage of this.
yes. It seems like that is what I looking for, thanks.
Indeed, but the word means so many things these days and they all sort of miss the point from my perspective.

I stayed for six months in an ashram [1] way out in the middle of nowhere, I'm sure that helped a lot.

It takes more time in the beginning, time for the mind to wind down, time to figure out which way is up, we did 4h sessions every morning in the ashram and 1h sessions regularly during the day.

But every step in that direction; I feel that regular practice is more important; and quality over quantity, 5 minutes of awareness is worth more than sitting for 1h with your eyes closed and worrying about this and that.

[1] https://www.yogameditation.com/
Yes. I know all of those tricks and use them regularly.

I also grew up at a time where observing actual signal and seeing the difference between "the good stuff" and "marketing woo" didn't even require half of it. I also spend a lot of time sweating how to leave behind a learnable system as good as the one I grew up with and getting frustrated because younger people and other adults can't get consistent replicable results because every damn search provider has more "personalization hooks" or agenda driven weight functions to result display that search queries for the neophyte are many times the length of ones not even a decade or so old; with better results getting hidden under the stuff that someone has a fiscal interest in getting SEO'd to the top.

The Internet does have a problem if we can't rear Internet savvy youth, which face it, the majority of parents can't because they aren't.

And no. The entire practice of SEO basically poisons the well for everyone. Any information under that type of evolutionary pressure is going to become garbage to anyone but someone who is versed in the more arcane aspects of searching, which is not the bloody thing I'm looking to perpetuate, justify or otherwise make more tenable.

So you're left with either curation, building your own search index you never share with any significant number of people or you capitulate to the market and the perverse regulations and perception management from <insert government here> that do nothing but perception manage anyone unaware of what is going on.

We live in a digital world separated from the actually extant one by multiple layers of entrenched players tweaking levers to determine what we do and don't see.

That ain't cool. We can't fix problems no one can see and come to a consensus on.
But it doesn't take a genius to predict how governments would react to a technology that effectively prevented them from collecting taxes, even in relatively liberal and democratic places.
