Ask HN: Are visual website builders just selling theme customization?
It becomes a must to have pre-built templates for these apps. Their demos only show "almost-done" kind of example. Imagine comparing each of these with criteria of starting from blank page, it would show more awkward moment trying to arrange details of layout on deep level elements.

There is new kind of builder that's trying to free users from limitation previous generation used to have. That is to render layout from code and generate code (two-way). But it becomes YesCode (Low Code is not enough for 100% customizable and extensible), and also ties to particular paradigm of how their code do styling because the UI needs to understand and be able to render it as well as to generate the code in some style (can it generate styled-component, tailwind, etc?). Therefore, they end up doing a lot of pre-built components, let users drag and drop and customize, so YesCode is now closed to just selling widgets library since composing part is already easy at this point, probably easier than using the gui one.

Apparently, these site builders serve well, so there is huge market. If I asked "is the market saturated" 5 years ago, the answer was probably yes, and proven wrong today. But I wonder if this time the market really is saturated, how could them be better than this, they seem to already reach both end of <-convenience--------flexibility-> spectrum.

I think there's no reason why visual IDEs couldn't take over FE for web at this point. It's just natural for something with visual output to also have a visual development experience. Game engines work this way, and now with one flow state frameworks like React, the overall architecture has many similarities.
I used acme as my main text editor for a few years and a lot of what you say resonates with me. The biggest problem I had with amce wasn't the editor itself but the lack of easy to use integrations.

Acme integrates well with external programs. This is really nice, but I don't want to spend the time writing all of my own integrations. Maybe I can justify that effort if I work in one codebase for a long time, but I've bounced around and haven't thought the investment would be worthwhile.

Compare with vscode: actively developed and you just click some buttons to get all the integrations. Just so much less friction.

If acme had an active community around it the situation may be different. But that's just not the case.
I've read (or listened to) this book maybe five times. Maybe for a bit of context for someone who's not that into fantasy fiction. The crazy thing about it is that is the basic story is the most standard wizard book ever. It borrows more than a little bit from the classic Wizard of Earthsea for example.

But Rothfuss just takes every one of those tropes and wires them together into absolute riveting story telling. He basically perfects the genre.

If it takes another 5 years for the last book to be released, I might just take up fantasy writing myself and come up with an ending for it, I guess it invites the reader into the field that way..
I was referring to friends of mine who are or were vegan.

> As I’m friends with them, I’m aware of their health issues or lack of health issues.

Of course I come in contact with lots of random people who are vegan but I certainly don’t know them well enough to understand their health.

I am also aware of the health of my non-vegan friends as well.

1440p (and by extension 5k) have advantages from a productivity point of view too. In my experience, no OS really consistently supports fractional scaling, so if you want a good time you want to run at 1x or 2x. In terms of how much "stuff" you can fit onto a screen at a comfortable size on modern monitor sizes, that means you'll end up using 1x for 1080p/1440p and 2x for 4k/5k.

1440p@1x or 5k@2k let you fit more than 1080p@1x or 4k@2x while feeling plenty large enough with modern application design on a typical (24/27 inch) sized display.
I mean that’s like considering the ability for an organism to survive bleach. It’s not impossible, but my understanding is would be as difficult as building trinary /fuzzy logic CPUs. Basically reinventing it from the ground up.

>>That's not how capitalism works.

Like I said, your explanation for that not being how capitalism works, which was:

>>However, if you take apple alongside all their inputs, what you have is an extractive model where shareholders capture the value created by employees and suppliers, and the employees of those suppliers are often the ones being ruthlessly exploited (the aforementioned cobalt miners, Chinese factory workers, etc).

Is straight Marxist exploitation theory, and it's not grounded in the scientific consensus on Economics. It discounts the value of saving capital, and risking it on a venture, that the investor provides. It assumes wage earners do not benefit from profit-motivated investments, unless they share in the profits of the enterprise they are employed in, which is totally contradicted by basic economic theory, and a mountain of evidence of the last two hundred years.

>>You can't honestly say that the Reagan era led to increases in regulation?

The Reagan era experienced a quantifiable increase in regulations:

https://regulatorystudies.columbian.gwu.edu/reg-stats

One of the most far-reaching healthcare regulations was enacted during the Reagan era:

https://www.athenahealth.com/knowledge-hub/practice-manageme...

>>Supporters say the growing number of administrators is needed to keep pace with the drastic changes in healthcare delivery during that timeframe, particularly change driven by technology and by ever-more-complex regulations. (To cite just a few industry-disrupting regulations, consider the Prospective Payment System of 1983 [1]; the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 [2]; and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Act of 2009. [3])

Beyond federal regulations, state and local regulations increased as well. The land-use study I linked to earlier explains how much land-use restrictions, enacted at the local government level, have increased since 1960, and how much this has contributed to income inequality and productivity growth stagnation.

Those who benefit from centralized government control over society, e.g. the public sector unions and a fully unionized mainstream media, have completely taken over the narrative, and have convinced the masses that what the US experienced since 1960 was a move toward libertarianism.. It's an outrageous piece of misinformation/swindling-of-the-public.

>>Your other comment about about cooperatives and labour rights was just the perfect market fallacy and completely a historical, respectively, so doesn't merit further analysis.

True, as I said the root cause is at the system level. But given the system we do live under, I'd rather pay my debts than do anything extra.

> My understanding is that Omega is very confident in its brand’s strength and staying power. I believe they put out a substantially larger number of watches than, for example, Rolex

Nope. Rolex produces significantly more watches than Omega. Rolex is in a class of its own year -- no other manufacturer commanding such a high price is making remotely as many watches.

To anyone as allegedly historically literate as the author, especially one who's focused on the crimes of US imperialism and foreign interference, there is no question they would be familiar with what that term specifically refers to - the dirty war in Argentina (though also applicable to Chile and Uruguay). I too thought it was going to be about a literal black bagging, like what happened to protesters in Portland last summer who were manhandled into unmarked government vehicles by plainclothes officers.
The idea is that there are different things that different languages offer, and you need to know "what's out there" before you can claim that one language is the best.

For example, if you never programmed in any of statically-typed languages, you cannot say if they are better or worse. Similar things go for OOP-oriented stuff, or immutable-by-default languages or languages with well-designed stdlib, etc...

You may still think that PHP is the best language after trying a few other, wildly different ones, and that's fine. But unfortunately, in my experience, a lot of people who really advertise PHP (and some other languages like Pascal), haven't really tried the alternatives.

Well, I like that Al Jazeera exists and their coverage of many things was good.

That RT is "state sponsored" or "funded partly by the Russian state" was plastered all over YouTube, Twitter, etc. Why was that not enough?

I know for a fact RT's coverage of current affairs in Latin America was pretty good. The "interrelated" argument is dangerous, because it cuts both ways -- Western news media wouldn't escape unscathed, for example.

> for mail I send, none of it is scheduled for 2-day to Virginia even though I'm very close to the border (50 miles?), but for mail I receive, half of Virginia is in the 2-day zone.

I think the sweet spot for sending is to be in an area that is busy enough that the USPS is essentially running 24/7 behind the scenes, but not busy enough that they can't keep up with mail volume.

I used to live in downtown Chicago and (pre-pandemic at least) the main post office had a manned counter open until 11pm every day. You could drop off a package at 10:30pm, check the tracking info when you woke up the next morning, and discover that it arrived at the giant sorting facility near O'Hare 45 minutes after you dropped it off, was put on a truck an hour later, arrived at a facility out of state at 3am, and was already on another truck heading to its final destination.

I've been eyeballing a number of locations. It looks like Wichita, KS might be the best sending location. Not a single spot in the continental US that is more than 4 days. Kansas City has a tiny spot in Northern California that is 5 days. As far as the really large cities go, Dallas, Chicago, and Denver are really quite good.

>>That lockdown report makes exactly the same kind of errors your earlier reasoning did (i.e. attribute costs to lockdowns, rather than the pandemic, and ignoring possible benefits);

The lockdown report teases apart the costs of lockdowns from those of the non-lockdown-related effects of the pandemic, and also looks at the benefit of lockdowns.

I don't think you're making a genuine effort to appraise it, making it pointless for me to engage in this.
Select text and Ctrl+C without release mouse button always make me rage. It copies entire message rather than selected text. I've never seen this behavior on windows apps.
"Not long ago, Kansas would have responded to the current situation by making the bastards pay. This would have been a political certainty, as predictable as what happens when you touch a match to a puddle of gasoline. When business screwed the farmers and the workers – when it implemented monopoly strategies invasive beyond the Populists' furthest imaginings – when it ripped off shareholders and casually tossed thousands out of work – you could be damned sure about what would follow. Not these days. Out here the gravity of discontent pulls in only one direction: to the right, to the right, further to the right. Strip today's Kansans of their job security, and they head out to become registered Republicans. Push them off their land, and next thing you know they're protesting in front of abortion clinics. Squander their life savings on manicures for the CEO, and there's a good chance they'll join the John Birch Society. But ask them about the remedies their ancestors proposed (unions, antitrust, public ownership), and you might as well be referring to the days when knighthood was in flower."

> There's a reason why Patek doesn't sell a $1000 version of their watch, or why Porsche doesn't make a Corolla competitor.

The minimum cost for an Omega watch is around $5,000. The Moonswatch that we're talking about here in this discussion is a Swatch. It may additionally have the Omega name on it, but anyone and everyone knows that it is a Swatch, produced to normal Swatch standards, on a Swatch assembly line. It has nothing to do with the line of mechanical Omega watches besides having the name on it.

The existence of an officially licensed Porsche toy car does not degrade the value of a real Porsche. Same for this Swatch.
Conflict with NK almost certainly means conflict with China.
It's only implied, but the coins also bring a certain required 'illegitimacy' to a transaction.

I'm not sure you will always be able to, if current trends continue. Deplatforming from everywhere that matters is effectively banning. We worry when Russia and China do it, and we should also worry when the US and Europe do it too.

PS: we are talking about news coverage and outlets, not "loons". Please don't add unwanted "color" to this debate.
These are all private companies that have some space that they pay for from common carriers and open up to people with constraints. They are more akin to shopping centers were the teenagers use to hang out in than public spaces.

It is not reasonable for random people to declare that some private company's comment section is a public square and thus can't or shouldn't be moderated.

If you want to grab a microphone and speak your mind, stand up your own server and do it. However, no private company owes you a thing.

Just because you want Twitter or YouTube or Reddit to be a public square doesn't make it so.

If you want to have the government compel private companies to do things, then say it. If you want the government to takeover private companies to provide the services you desire, then again, say it.

As it is, the companies that you are listing are working as private companies in a context of "they're not breaking any laws" and "it is not the government's place to be regulating what private citizens or private companies are saying or not saying."

I also believe that going down that path of "you must host all content that isn't illegal" to a private company is as equally authoritarian as "you must not publish any content about X".

As it is, the companies are making decisions about their ethics and bottom lines (from however their content is monetized) and working from there to decide what is and is not appropriate to host on their systems.
Porsche:VW::Omega:Swatch is a pretty good analogy, actually. In both cases you have a large conglomerate with different brands targeting different price points.

the advice here, i think, has more to do with intent and focus, not a checklist of things to do and not do.

eugene peterson’s translation of Matthew 6:6 is

“ Here’s what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won’t be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.”

and that’s at least within the realm of possible for the patterns of communal worship that have come after. I’m inclined to say most of “a church service” isn’t exactly prayer, either.
Yes, you are right. It's not legally banned, it's just being gradually made inaccessible to Western audiences. Whatever happened to the marketplace of ideas, plurality of voices, and other liberal ideas?

The best way to use these as an investment is to flip them immediately, when they're still going for a substantial premium. These are non-limited models, and the supply is eventually going to catch up to the demand. Swatch has a lot of available production capacity, and it's a no-brainer for them to use it on this model for as long as it continues to sell (as Swatches, generally, are not otherwise jumping off the shelves like this one is).

The current aftermarket price of the Moonswatch is as high as it's ever going to be.
I read about it on HN some months ago. I don’t recall if it was in comments or an article. But I read the info and sources and was convinced enough at the time. I’m sorry I didn’t save the original info. I’ll try some googling “geolocation from SMS” and see what I can find.
Golay code?

I feel like with 200kb sizes, Reed Solomon would be better?

Definitely a fun idea. 200KB per page is reasonable and much more than I thought was possible (I never did the math though).

Maybe for actual pragmatic use, 50% Reed Solomon code for ~100Kb per page is still good? 100KB of data and 100KB of Reed Solomon code could correct up to 50KB of errors.

Error detection (CRC32?) to reliably throw away errors (Pararchive style) also could help.

Or maybe just packaging the data in Pararchive before writing to paper would work, lol
Oh, I didn't know that! I just knew that you could boot the PS1 without a disc and then insert game discs to listen to their soundtracks (at least with some games).
It’s also more then that. elan was VERY good at disguising themselves as a caring and helpful place. On paper, elan had it all. But it was all an illusion. My parents spent over 3 months researching different schools and elan seemed to have everything I “needed”. This was before the internet had social media and review sites so the people who elan abused didn’t really have a visible soapbox. My parents even went to elan and took a tour before sending me there.

elan also had complete control of every letter or phone call. You have to earn the privilege to them. I had no contact with my parents for the first 2 months. And when I did, it was over a speakerphone in a room with a elan staff member who literally had their finger on the button to hang up if I pleaded for my parents to take me home. And before the call that day they had been coaching me for days on what I could and could not say. And if I said something I wasn’t supposed to I would lose all privileges and go “on shotdown”. elans vicegrip on communication actually led to my parents withdrawing me. They sensed something wasn’t right and (against elans wishes) demanded a in person visit with me(in person visits are a extremely privileged event). They saw I had lost a ton of weight and looked all fucked up and withdrew me.
