Well I'm not strongly against it either as I recognise other people need/want this feature, just personally as an iOS user and developer I'd rather not deal with it.

All your points are valid though and perhaps some real competition will force Apple's hand with regard to improving the App Store, their policies and treatment of third-party developers.
Then don't use it. Simple. :)
Inbox was a data-gathering nightmare for our 3-Letter spy orgs.

Inbox wasn't killed for lack of users.

Hangouts, Inbox, and most of Google's prior messaging platforms were terminated due to lack of centralized data-gathering of the most important data sets.

This is old news though.
The decision to get rid of Inbox smells like a lot of office politics. Someone probably create Inbox as a fun new 20% project and then it took off with a massive customer base that was eating into Gmail's metrics and so they decided to kill it.
This is still a notification, even if it's not using the browser notifications or mobile push notifications.
I'll be honest, I'm less enthused about the Steam Deck than I was previously. I've heard reports that the screen is simply not very good, with limited color accuracy. Given that I'm used to carrying around a phone with a superb OLED display (though at well over double the price of the base Steam Deck, it had better be good), it may be tough to get used to.

Further, the reports I've seen indicate that even years-old games require low settings and 30fps caps, or running at sub-640p and using FSR to upscale. And all that with sub 2 hour battery life on some titles. It's understandable, I guess, that a handheld device with a 15w TDP will have limited power ... but I was hoping for a bit more, I guess.

And I have other nitpicks ... the glued on battery; Linux game compatibility; shoddy haptics.

I do agree that it's an absolute steal compared to competing devices, which offer similar or worse compromises at double the cost (or more).
> Got it, so it seems like the contract is just heavily skewed in favor of Amazon, where the content is subsidizing all of the deals and discounts that Audible provides.

With how much guff Apple and Google get for their 30% cuts, and they don't offer all kinds of "unauthorized" discounts off the retail price... yeah, Amazon's being a bad actor here.
People want to debate politics, but submissions about politics get killed. Therefore people end up using any excuse to debate politics in any thread.
I've been writing for most of my life. I'm fairly good at it; but nowhere near a professional writer.

I write in a manner similar to how I design software. I use an "evolutionary design" approach[0]. My writing tends to be a rather loosely-organized, casual, vernacular.

For those who are uncomfortable with Git: My personal git notes repo has this script right there in the document root:

$ cat ~/Notes/sync.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
git add *
git commit -am "$(hostname)"
git pull
git push
echo ''
git status

That's good for 99% of my own use - and I'm a technical user. You can leave those last two lines off and redirect stdout to /dev/null. If there's an error on "sync" the user can call you over to handle what will likely be either a merge conflict or a network issue. Even for Windows users you can probably wrap that in a .bat file to be double-clicked on the desktop.

And there are a ton of WYSIWYG Markdown editors. I've used Typora in the past.
The hidden argument in this “30% is anti-competitive” thing is that it has never been easier for me, as a consumer, to cancel a subscription than to go through Apple to do it.

All my subs on one screen with a single click to cancel at any time, without forgoing my pre-paid time.

I wish everything were like that.
the reality is that almost everything has an element of politics and it is good to understand the relationship between politics and technology in particular. Tech, in many ways, has been adept at skirting existing laws because tech transcends barriers that were show-stoppers in the past. AirBnB, Uber are good examples. Google, facebook and spying. Clearview and their immoral data gathering.

There is the additional issue that tech has crept into everything and the internet is where modern state-sponsored disinformation and misinformation campaigns are being fought.

Tech is maturing and a consequence of that process is that politics develops. It's not necessarily a bad thing as the cynics say.
Inbox was the best email experience I've ever used.

They claimed that everything you like about Inbox has been integrated into Gmail, but it just isn't the same. All of your email categories/bundles were on the landing page. It was super intuitive to click into them and dig down into the hierarchy, and to go back/up a level on any screen you just scrolled to the top or bottom of a screen and overscroll (like a pull-to-refresh type move). I didn't have to pull out drawers or actively jump between categories. It was perfect.

Now with Gmail I have to click into my email categories one-by-one to see what's in each of them. It doesn't do the automatic bundling. And GOD the ads! Which there are not only way too many of, but they're constantly asking me if I find them useful or not. Of course I don't find them useful, I'm trying to check my email.
I think for people who take email seriously (e.g. have work or volunteering commitments) and don’t just use it as a receipt holder, the Inbox concept is horrifying.

Most of the good features are already baked into GMail and Outlook already. The extreme white space Material Design look is already way out of date.

The key feature of having AI monkey with the inbox is a non-starter if you might face consequences for the AI getting it wrong. Even something as basic as Focused Inbox in Outlook causes problems and it’s only got two categories. The base gmail experience is super bad at its own implementation of categorized mailbox.
Gmail used to offer major up changes as a option u had to enable/turn on. I wish they would go back to this. I’m now dreading the many calls/texts I’ll get today asking how to switch back to the old gmail.

(Side note- how is it that the leader in search, STILL does not support wildcard or partial word searching in gmail)
It was so good! Once they got rid of it I started moving away from Gmail because it was clear they just didn’t know what they were doing.
Technology is used as political tools/weapons to drive and manufacture consent, through promoting hate and creating divisiveness - and through captured mainstream media channels, and online platforms; this couldn't be any more obvious with Trudeau's behaviours and observing the mainstream landscape of what the majority of Canadians are seeing.

And so you're correct - politics and technology is intertwined, but HN is happy to suppress conversation that would arguably lead to discussing technological solutions.

The biggest problem is our information distribution/propagation (and therefore trust) apparatus is corrupted, which does include the issue with low-to-no-effort downvotes allowing a person to suppress content while getting rewarded via a dopamine hit.
Good q, I might be remembering a different episode which is always possible with actors like Culp. Will look into this issue, your ticket ID is @ny01dp0r7

In all honesty, Grenfell was caused by bad construction choices, materials and political penny-pinching. A second stairway filled with cyanide smoke would have had very limited benefits.
Inbox was pretty much just a new frontend to Gmail. Why would it impede in any data-gathering if that was Google's goal?
Yeah, I just don't have a blog LOL

But I have been thinking about making one, maybe this can kick it off. Would have to be anonymous until I successfully make it back into tech.
I like the idea of anti values, the idea you have to trade something off.

It doesn't always make sense though. The only company I've worked at whose values actually resonated with me, and evidently a lot of other people there, was at Maersk. They are [1]:

* Constant care
* Humbleness
* Uprightness
* Our employees
* Our name

They were a great place to work and I saw those values embodied there. Hard to see what the anti values would be for those.

The basic principle they are working on is building trust.

Here's an objective comparison that Ryan Florence (Remix co-creator) made showing a Remix Hacker News Clone (not the one posted, but one he built himself) vs the Next.js implementation you're talking about here: https://remix.run/blog/react-server-components

If React Server Components can improve things for Remix (they can't right now, but maybe they will get better?) and if it is ever released (it's been 5 years now... and they still are saying they've got a long way to go), then Remix will ship support for them and it will be a non-breaking change for Remix users.
Im not sure this is a fair comparison. The Nextjs implementation seems more like "let just get it running somehow". OP's codebase is looking scalable and maintainable. Any React developer would have a very easy time getting used to the code (first-glance-readable patterns and functions, uses Typescript etc...) whereas the Nextjs implementation uses very rare patterns and file structure for a Nextjs application (IMHO).

For example, where are the styles for the skeleton ? Why inserting CSS with "dangerouslySetInnerHTML" in the index.js ? Maybe its easy and I am missing some obvious stuff but the code doesnt seem very readable to me. Maybe is due to the nature of Server Components in Nextjs ? Would be nice to hear someone else's opinion on the patterns used in this repo.

OPs code on the other hand is a piece of cake to understand. Really good job!
How far back do you consider the "old days"?

In the decade-plus I've been around, there has always been a small but steady stream of nontech political content. Despite the policy. My perception is that hasn't increased or decreased, though it does have periodic surges (say, US election season). I personally think it adds to the appeal of HN - in moderation, of course. Political conversations here are generally better informed and more polite than they are in other places, and I tend to learn more than I would by solely reading formal news sources.
Fun!

I made one with a 5x5 square of letters, containing five words down and five across:

> For some applications, it's valuable to have globally-unique addresses even if they're not (all) broadly accessible from the open Internet.

For a real-life example of that: according to documentation which can be found at its website, the Brazilian Central Bank has been allocated a full /18 for the national inter-bank network; each financial institution connected to that network receives a /27 or a /28 (or a pair of them) from that range. If you look up that address range on bgp.he.net, you'll find out that it's not announced to the public Internet at all.
Im not sure i agree with that. old forums used to have interesting threads that would go on for a while and in depth. One thing I dont like about this, idk what this is called, new generation of message board?, is that past 3 or 4 comments deep everything dies and past like 12 hours commenting dies. it actually feels a lot more shallow
You might be thinking of Columbo Cries Wolf, or It's All In The Game. He does resolve both cases, but they're unconventional (and both from the 80s/90s revival of the series).
There's a joke I've seen circulating recently on the internet that I found amusing. "Do you know what the difference between a conspiracy theorist and reality is? About 6 months."

Apart from that Canada thing I know many people who were labelled a "consipracy theorist" for saying the virus came from Wuhan lab, they were labelled nutjobs for saying that the government would implement vaccine passports to restrict where you could and couldn't go. They said the government would force you to be vaccinated, etc.

My stance on those issues is not necessarily the same as those friends, but I am just saying, it seems the conspiracy theorists are hitting quite a few points lately.
React Router isn't a state management library and doesn't provide global state. As far as I can tell, using Remix/React/React Router in this way would result in broken behavior. As an example, consider a news website that has infinite scroll on the front page. When the user clicks on an article and then clicks back, the user will see a version of the front page that is different from before, and their scroll position will be broken.
How much evidence you'd demand to change your mind depends on whether your prior was 50%, 90% or 99.999999999%. You shouldn't need more evidence to change back to 50/50 than it took to get you to your current beliefs - otherwise you'd have two equal cases and prefer the one you heard earlier for no reason other than that you heard it first.
for those willing to discount the revelation as cold-war era chicanery, a more recent example exists in the SPECK cipher fiasco where the community, frustrated by statist stonewalling and theatrical bloviation, basically told the NSA to pound sand down a rat hole and refused to incorporate the cipher into the kernel.

I have thought for some time that votes should come in two flavors. X if you make a comment, X/10 if you don't. Drive-by voting is of little value, and for abusive posts that need downvoting we have flagging to accomplish quick removal. Giving more weight to people who write a reply would encourage more conversation.

Of course, then there is a question of whether it would encourage more thoughtful comments or not, and I cannot answer that.
A take I agree with. I'm glad I'm not bombarded by dozens of blinking status indicators every time I load up HN to see what's interesting today.
Yeah enforcement is usually the issue. We are commenting on an article about a new way to enforce though
Sometimes you give the children these tools and they decide to do something they are more interested in. It is important to realize that not all children are interested in sciences.
In an effort to preserve capital, money is finding it's way into RE. What better hedge against Inflation and as a bonus it pays dividends(rent) while you sit on it. Blackstone has been on a tear lately.

What would this look like practically? Say I want to port an iOS app to mobile linux? I know it's early days but what does the toolchain and distribution look like?
No irony at all, I understand the situation that led up to both PA and systemd. That's why I wrote:

I do agree with that. I wonder if it'd be better to show one's threads as a chronological list as opposed to a tree.
>angry soap box lectures

Have you ever considered that you are the one that’s wrong and emotional about it? No one wants to take the App Store away. In fact, I can think of many things the App Store could do to improve my experience. Maybe some competition would be the necessary motivation.
If we're going for hyperbolic examples, imagine being a single mother who works a lot and also has a limited income. Her convenient local shop has been replaced by a mini delivery warehouse burning through VC capital that was able to offer the landlord a better rental rate, but charges customers twice what the older shop did for the kid's medication...

No, but I'm not sure that it would be a bad thing to bring back capital punishment (like the guillotine) for huge financial crimes.
I don't mind the political discussions coming through as long as they don't dominate the front page.

However, I am saddened with the diminishing engagement with actual hard tech stories (not tech opinion pieces) that reach the front page. Lately, it seems like links to stories about people doing cool software or hardware things with complete write-ups can barely muster enough upvotes to stay on the front page very long, if at all. The comments occasionally yield some fun further discussions, but not like they did 5+ years ago on HN. It seems the interests of the average HN upvoter (who ultimately shapes what we see on the front page) are shifting more toward the political and controversy type pieces.
From the article, "The best way to fix the system is to prioritize websites that are there to share knowledge, not websites with their primary priority to make ad revenue."

You know who shares valuable knowledge? Other humans who have personally experienced the knowledge I'm trying to acquire. In this context, Reddit IS the website that shares REAL knowledge. I agree I wouldn't search "restaurants near me" on reddit but what I do search locally, and every single time I visit a new city is, "favorite restaurants in city x". The result is real crowd-voted feedback, from real humans that has almost always been extremely reliable, google doesn't do this, effectively.

Another example. I was trying to buy new skis. Google any query and you get SEO'd results which are almost always useless or sponsored reviews/content. Now, try reddit, you get real testimonials from people who have actually used the product and often provide insights I wasn't originally even aware i should be considering.

The reddit dataset is already a search engine, it just doesn't have a pretty UI. It's like trying to buy Gucci shoes at Nordstrom Rack vs. the Gucci store.
This is a good spot, It would definitely help the future users.

As far as I can tell, there's little to nothing objectionable about this change; it makes urandom behave _more like_ random, by not yielding bytes before the kernel's entropy pool is in a good state (GRND_INSECURE).

Systems where this would make urandom block for an objectionably long time (because CPU execution time jitter is unavailable or is believed to have low entropy) are largely hypothetical.

I think you can still have specific reservations about CPU execution time jitter, though my experience and reading makes me believe this is probably a pretty good source of entropy; personally, I feel the ball is firmly in the court of jitter skeptics to show why the entropy measures from actual running systems are wildly high estimates. [https://www.chronox.de/jent/doc/CPU-Jitter-NPTRNG.html#toc-A...]

I also think you can still have specific reservations about how the kernel 'shepherds' its pool of random bits. I honestly am out of touch with the latest algorithms, both in research and in the Linux kernel. It would seem best if the kernel used a cryptographic algorithm where inferring the hidden random pool's state from outputs implies a useful attack on the cryptographic algorithm itself (i.e., has a proof of security). I don't think that Linux does this at the moment, based on recent discussion at https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/20220201161342.154666-1-Jaso...

But let's take a moment to happily reflect: for applications, running well after system boot-up has completed, it is now soooo easy to have your fill of cryptographic-quality random numbers than it was in the bad old days.

I mostly appreciate the mods (well, dang is the only one I've interacted with) but I'm pretty tired of being scolded for occasionally making one-sentence comments that lack substance, while in the meantime, the site tolerates people who write pages of absolutely untrue covid vax denialism but don't get any comments from the mods.

At this point I'm actively looking for a replacement community that focuses much more on ML and Linux, and not on the social issues associated with machine learning, or social justice warriors messing up tech firms, or people who seem to get their "science" from Fox News.
