Great article!

I wrote an article on API design way back in 2008 that advocated for "Scaleable" APIs, in terms of user-investment, which dovetails exactly w/ this concept of "Laddering" APIs:

> With this layered approach to File I/O, GScript users do not need to become familiar with the complicated Java I/O libraries to do simple and even moderately complicated things. Yes, there is now some redundancy, but each layer fulfills a particular band of the complexity/performance continuum. GScript programmers are only required to know as much about I/O as is necessary to solve the problem they have with acceptable performance.

It's a blog post, how can a "false" make you feel scolded?
Interesting numbers, but it'd be vastly improved by being able to filter for age ranges too.

Gauss and Degauss are the two that jumped out at me. I'd be curious to know how many people of either gender have encountered it, if they're young enough to have never lived with CRT TVs.
Require servers to be hosted domestically. This doesn't prevent exfiltration, but it can be more closely regulated and inspected.

Many countries ask this of US companies, so there's no reason we shouldn't adopt a similar stance.
Yeah, the older iPod headphones were even worse comfort-wise, especially after the rubber around the speaker grill started to break down. I had several pairs that I kept for way too long.

This looks pretty great. My first potential use case is as for a HomeAssistant addon to tie into HA's existing energy monitoring infrastructure. Is there any chance of a free plan for consumers so we don't need to sign up and pay $3.00 a month to retrieve energy usage for home use? I imagine that the mindshare among developer types would be worth the minimal calls, but obviously this is your decision :)

Thanks again for building this!

Again, it's a question of whether you are trying to convey details, or look pretty.

If you add numbers to the pie chart, then you don't need the chart at all. The benefit of a bar chart is that you don't need to list the individual percentages. At a quick glance, you can get more information from a bar chart than you can from a pie chart.

But if you're not trying to convey details, a pie chart is prettier.

Removing 'slave' from the vocabulary makes more sense than removing 'master', master is a term that predates its usage in slavery contexts.

Asking (and explaining the logic of main vs master) would be better UX than forcing a new paradigm into contexts where it's not welcome - all of my corpo repos use master; sneaking main into new repos is not helpful.
thanks! I meant "scraped" yes:)

JimTCL is very fun for that, and it would run on limited machines.

Ok, not totally TCL compatible, and no TK, but you have (WIP) SDL2 bindings, and SDL2 would work perfectly on a display handled by fbdev/KMS.

SDL2 can be really fast at low res displays such as 320x240.
If not, EFL from Enlightenment for sure could that fast enough.

Is the master assumption baked into things like “go get”? Interesting consequence of the branch name change then.
Yeah, the spot-conversion itself guarantees at least one transaction that needs to be mined into a block, which implies all of the energy consumption that it takes to mine a single block, paid up front immediately. (On top of the energy consumption of the transaction that resulted in the donation as well.)

They'd almost have a stronger case if they explicitly were holding on to the cryptocurrencies without transacting them as a rainy day fund, and their plans to minimize energy usage were to sell the wallet (private key) all or nothing in an off-chain exchange with no on-chain transactions to complete the sale.

That still doesn't solve the massive energy usage of the transactions that "donated" those funds into the wallets in the first place. It sequesters some amount amount of transactions in theory, briefly while things aren't moving in that specific wallet, but doesn't solve for the massive future energy needs of whatever the next person expected to transact with that wallet either.
Pelm is free up to 100 API calls and 10 active end users per month! I believe this should be enough to cover the home use case.
> Do the courts show up less for HOAs because owners sign arbitration clauses? I don't otherwise see why the courts should be less relevant to HOAs.

Sometimes arbitration clauses are the cause. More often, it's because a homeowners association is a private, non-governmental entity and the case between the property owner and the HOA is, legally, a contract dispute.

There's an often-brought-out idea that the Constitution, be it state or Federal, only binds the government and not private parties. "Twitter can censor whatever it wants but the Department of the Interior can't," that sort of thing. Governments at all levels have to follow the Constitution and are generally a lot more restricted in what they can do, and the presumption is that people have much more broad rights to push back through the courts.

But with an HOA, many of them have been set up as quasi-governmental bodies, as in they act like governments--some even have the power of condemnation and foreclosure through their position as technically holding a lien over all of the properties in the development--but they have none of the responsibilities of governments. And if a property owner sues, a court is largely limited to looking at the plain language of the contract and the instrumentalities recorded against the parcel and see if those are being followed. (Occasionally there are state laws that deem some contract provisions to be "against public policy" and unenforceable in that state's courts, but states are very reticent to do this for anything other than quick political wins, like overturning prohibitions on flag poles.)

If they are being followed, the court's ruling is "well, you signed it, tough cookies."

The way I interpreted their post was that yes, there are differences, but are they really that different when one takes a step back? The answer to that is going to be a deeply personal one, which is why I agree w/ both of you although my personal mentality is closer to the one they cite.

As an example, one thing I do enjoy is finding and visiting quirky little museums. The sort that might only be a couple of rooms worth of items. By nature each one is a new experience for me. But if I take a more abstract view I could say "I'm just looking at another quirky little museum".
This is what I currently do, also. It technically works, but I would much rather not have to use groups like this.

Agreed. Rather than targeting a specific country or specific company, make it a large category. Grey areas are where companies, regardless of national origin, can optimize and manipulate. We need to shift the conversation away from "China bad; ban Chinese companies" to one about protecting people and their right to privacy. After all, this is the goal, right? We don't want to be saying "Privacy violations are OK as long as the companies are Western." but rather "People have a right to privacy."

I recently discovered that Safari on both iOS and MacOS lack the ability to use a custom search engine. You're stuck with the few options Apple has hard-coded into the app.

A few Safari extensions exist that try to skirt this limitation by watching your browsing for a Google, DDG, etc search. These extensions grab the query from those search engines then redirect your tab to your preferred custom search engine.

Of all of the missing common features to implement, I feel like custom search engine is incredibly simple:
* User entered string for search URL with some marker for "the query".
* User entered string for the label of the search engine.
* Option to edit/delete already entered custom engines.
* In the search engine selector, also allow users to choose any custom engines.

Sure, there are specs out there for making this a cleaner customer experience. For instance, OpenSearch lets web sites tell browsers if the website is a search engine, and what query string pattern should be used with it. But at the bare minimum, Safari (on iOS and MacOS) should implement the simpler "just enter a query string pattern" feature.
Yes, I know it would be nice. Some languages like haskell have so low volume of job offers with specified salary that is quite meaningless. The others have enough volume I would say. I would think though a way to merge that both streams of data.

So I know that up to PC Engine, 32x, Playstaion 1, etc emulation is mostly solved and is now racing down the accuracy path, but how is the eco system beyond that?

The article mentions N64 and PSP on a Pi4, but is there a good summary somewhere of what to expect at different levels of hardware and how good the emulators are (variety of games vs unexpected bugs), etc?

When I began hosting web sites around 2002 we started with a 1.5mbit leased line. It's amazing how many requests we handled with what is now considered so little bandwidth. Of course the media attached to web sites has grown larger since then.
History is funny. KHTML (a KDE project) was repurposed to WebKit by Apple and integrated with Safari. Which in turn was taken by Google that built Chrome on it. They later diverged more and now other browser are being built on repurposed Chrome. It would be funny if Safari was really replaced by Chromium as that would mean the offspring has eaten the parent.
I still listen to it!

It may be a matter of personal taste, but I actually prefer the Share menu over a prompt because it doesn't waste real estate on an already small screen where it's unwanted or superfluous. Giving users the option but not pestering them with it is better UX in my opinion.
Please provide proof of the assertion the web would be better if Safari suppored PWAs. I want to see graphs from the user side, not from the revenue side.

Personally, I suspect the only thing which would be better if Safari supported PWAs would be that some companies would see more engagement with notifications. But this is just opinion.
I think the more interesting thing is that old, most central branch (trying to avoid saying main) has been removed instead kept and locked from updates.
1FA with U2F is viable for most people. Same risk profile as the security of your house, car, safety deposit box, credit card.

A distant second is push notification login, but it has a lot of drawbacks including users allowing every time they get a notification and compromised phones. Just not SMS! Or sending links/tokens by email.
>Why is it always the "objective facts" brand of capitalist activists that can immediately after do an extraordinary subjective - and biased - interpretation of a weak historical correlation?

It's consistent across time and the globe for the overwhelming majority of nations transitioning to and from capitalism to any other system. It's not just some singular event that happened once in the 18th century, it's observable right now. I provided examples in another comment.

>You'll have to surgically remove at least 80% of Capitalism's history for it to be even close to true.

Prove it. What is this 80%?

>Even then, you have many societies in "human history" that certainly would argue that their "ethical and moral" progression was significantly better than today's.

Name them and describe how and why.

Why is it always those that insist on ignoring objective historical facts can never substantiate their assertions and rather make axiomatic statements?

I provided explicit examples and illustrated consistency across time and geography. Hand wavy dismissals aren't doing your argument any favors.

Hi HN, I shared an earlier version of this back in August. Conceptually it was based on the idea of creating a "GitHub for buildings", where you can create and analyze a version history of your home and all the changes you make to it over time. Based on the extremely helpful feedback I received, I've reimagined this as a collaborative home management "platform" instead, where project detail/history is just one part of the value proposition (on top of helping people take care of little problems around the house, taking care of their stuff, coordinating documents and people, etc.).

From the feedback, I think there's still some value to knowledge transfer between owners, but it's been completely de-prioritized in terms of roadmap work. I'm excited to help homeowners create "instruction manuals" for their homes instead.

Really appreciate any additional feedback - thanks!
I know a side-effect of several antidepressants is low libido. I have no clue if a doctor would prescribe it for that though.
But can the government legally restrict that kind of activity? It would be pretty cut-and-dried viewpoint discrimination triggering the most severe First Amendment scrutiny.

Beyond that, I'm not sure how easy it would really be to detect. Seems like the method for that kind of thing would more likely be to have networks of users/bots/whatever that take advantage of facially neutral recommendation algorithms. So would you catch that by auditing the algorithm?

note that without js turned on, your "burger" menu doesn't even show up, so links to other pages aren't accessible. you seem to be targeting developers, so there's a good chance a number of them browse with privacy extensions. i'd also suspect that the most interesting traffic for you will come from desktop, so why have a burger menu at all? that's an affordance primarily to accommodate mobile users. just list your primary links at the top and let them wrap on mobile. no js needed!

edit: forgot to note that "Get to know Midnight Theme" shows up in the burger menu, under 'Product'. you don't need either that 'Homepage' link, or even the 'Home' link 1 level up. linking home from the logo is sufficient.
I really appreciate the note of the environmental analyst which helps readers who don't have deep knowledge of the field understand the meaning of this breakthrough in context. I wish more news agencies adopted the same practice.
Yup, a major breakthrough in this glacial field is doubling the energy output in 25 yeas.

So by the time captain Picard is born, we might have a very expensive and massive fusion reactor that will generate the same kind of energy we can generate today with very expensive and massive fission reactors.

Really now, this is pure garbage and does not solve the major problems in the field nor do most of the myriad startups trying to cash in on speculative seed funds.
yocto is also an embedded system, where you should be taking care of these things tidily, because your target devices are not always trivially updatable and often have longer lifetime cycles than revs of normal software
I just created a new repo with just a master branch. Where does Github force anything?

They're sure suggesting it - their suggested commands to initialize a new repo will create a main branch. But you can just ignore that suggestion?
I've got an e260 with RockBox that I've had since new. They were (and are still) excellent mp3 players! Still use it sometimes but not as much now that I have all my mp3s on my phone. It uses the same 30-pin connector as the iPod, but it fits backwards and the connections are different.

That's why you establish rules and remove the choice. They're kids, you get to do that. No tech until homework is done and the sun has set, barring bad weather days. More screen time available on the weekend. You can also set screen time limits in the OS now, which makes this easier than 33 years ago when I had my first NES (which was only limited because my mother wasn't working for a few years and kicked us out of the house, also we liked running around the neighborhood and town).
Yours ended up coming across as the indignant dismissal. As a community member I didn’t appreciate the warning. From the second paragraph on your comment was an interesting contribution, though. I’m surprised that many of those PoC businesses have stayed online at all, but I guess romaine are easy to renew.
I’m currently building a web version of a board game (Scoville, super fun) with a friend. We decided to use bordgame.io as it handles most of the multiplayer state transitions and has a pretty impressive selection of games done with it (https://github.com/philihp/fields-of-arle, https://github.com/hwabis/forbidden-desert, https://github.com/mbrinkl/santorini). A lot of board games have some sort of web version as AFAIK copyright doesn’t extend to the rules and systems, just the names and art (we called ours “Capsaicin” to be cute). Maybe there’s a greater thought about the effectiveness of building and prototyping something that can be constructed from paper and mediated by humans, and only introducing computers once a design is more or less finalized.
If someone told you it's not real, but you're still experiencing all the symptoms, what would you derive from that?

With diagnoses about mental function, you can never ever just make a simple binary statement. Many ailments come in degrees of severity. Others - come in episodes by time.
That tunable is probably not an issue for you; the symptom there is painfully slow writes (even for bulk sequential writes).

A sibling mentioned making sure ashift is 12. I'll second that. In addition, make sure your ZFS partition is aligned; if you gave ZFS the whole disk it probably is. If you did not (e.g. because you needed an EFI boot partition) it might not be.

Lastly, for any given workload, ZFS seems to have roughly logistic performance curve with respect to the amount of RAM it has to work with. The ARC does a pretty good job of keeping important data in RAM to minimize seeks when there is "enough" RAM, but it does a progressively worse job as it gets RAM constrained. On a development machine where I'm dealing with multiple SVN and git checkouts on spinning metal the performance difference between 8GB and 12GB of RAM for ZFS is night and day. Good SSDs make this a lot less important because the penalty for a small number of read-misses is approximately zero compared to rotating drives.
No, those are self-inflicted, and you can take action to rid yourself of them or minimize their effects. Self empowerment.

And since I first posted the CDC released a study that shows natural immunity is better than vaccination. Not surprised since vaccination went from 95% efficacy, and you will not catch or transmit COVID (very early on); to well, it's like 78% effective after a few months, and you can catch a mild case of COVID; to it drops below 50% after 3 to 5 months (vaccines cannot be FDA approved if they show less than 50% effectiveness), and you will need a booster, and you can be infected and infect others.

And we can debate mask-wearing, but there are no substantive studies on the issue, and if naturally immune and the vaccinated are protected (probably greater than 90% of the population by now), why masks? Not to even drag in having all of our children masked 8 hours/day, while the rest of us are able to limit our mask-wearing even though 12 and under are the least at risk for anything serious from COVID.
