Yeah, it makes really no sense even for native speaker when you think about it, people just accept this nonsense, in English it's either how many minutes past some time, or how many minutes to next hour, but in Czech/Slovak you talk "on hour", not sure what's origin of this nonsense, but I doubt majority of people could explain the meaning.

We also commonly use double negative:

English - I did nothing

Slovak/Czech - I didn't do nothing (reverse I did everything)

People don't think about it, just accept this nonsense and go on with it.

Czech language has even way more illogical things than Slovak, since it is older, for instance they have special letter ů which sounds exactly same as ú (as oo in Doom), but ů can't be used as first letter of word, where you must use ú and vice versa, if it's not first letter must use ů and can't use ú, despite both of them having exactly same meaning/sound.

To be fair, they're normally 30 minute interviews even in 3-hour long interviews very rarely do any interviewers go in depth on any subject. I think I understand what you want but I don't think you'll ever really find it.

> the traditional internet required that you be literate, be able to write, have an IQ > 45.

No it didn't. The internet required you to know how to setup a server and hosting. If you knew how, you could serve the most illiterate, badly thought out crap ever, and nobody would stop you.

You think that you needed to be litterate, because you've confirmation-biased yourself into thinking that you were 'special'/'gifted' for having read some nginx-manuals and setup your own blog. And now that everybody has access to the thing that made you feel 'special' you act childish and try to degrade that achievement of others.

"yeah you write for your own blog, but did you use MEDIUM while doing it? What a poser! If you're a real writer, like ME, you'd host your own blog in the 90s".

> Already we saw sites like Medium attract lower quality content than blogs that require a certain amount of intelligence to set up.

Who made you the arbiter of quality content? Did you ever self-reflect and realize that it might not be about quality, but rather your personal preference?

Are you too stupid to see that people might not share your views at all? That what they think is quality-content you might think is shit? And that what you think is quality-content others might think is shit?

Hi, I created this.

Most of my web browsing is reading text, so I wondered about stripping webpages down to plain text. I showed it to my boss at work and he suggested putting it up somewhere as a tool for people to use.

There is no caching so its a bit slow to load.

There are examples in the blog post, but try loading a new yorker article like this:

https://earthly-tools.com/text-mode?url=https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-silicon-valley/the-lonely-work-of-moderating-hacker-news

Or read it right in your terminal:

curl https://earthly-tools.com/text-mode?url=https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-silicon-valley/the-lonely-work-of-moderating-hacker-news | less

Unfortunately, there are no links, so browsing around isn't great experience but reading is.

Next thing I need to add is caching, because some pages are just really slow and text should be very cacheable.

Also, on my phone I need to use widescreen mode to make it viewable the line breaks are in the content and not reactive to browser size.

Rust has macro which allows you to write domain specific language if you want. The examples right now, is written in rust as they are still developing it. You need to have a solid core before building a domain specific language on top it.

So this part is pure trigonometry: how much further does a monitor like this have to sit on your desk, to have the same pixels-per-steradian as a 4k 27"?

Distros like Fedora Silverblue and NixOS. Confidence in that, even if update breaks something, you can just boot back into previous setup, and have working system, not bothered by breakage for the time being.
> Let us look at Windows and macOS for a second here, and exclude Linux, because Linux (rather, Linux + your favorite DE) is realistically the issue [...] If you design around a given language for the most recent versions of a native OS, you'll never have issues. Both macOS and Windows include common libraries that map to their respective styles.

That is a bold statement and largely not true.

Most DAWs are only developed and maintained for Windows and Mac. Almost all of them are using their own set of widgets/gfx because they want control on their style and they want it to be the very same on both Windows and Mac. Their software is very specific and want their tool to look and feel like hardware, not a regular software.

It is mostly about control. Linux doesn't have anything to do with that and any software maker can decide to only support GTK or QT, libwine or whatever toolkit it wants to use and stick with it. Linux users are used to run QT apps on Gnome or GTK apps on KDE, they are not the one that would complain and given the market share, the software companies are happy to give the middle fingers if they do so anyway.

i have heard a personal experience of a family member who says he saw the event himself so i kinda have to understand it can be something:

"people were digging for water on a road because there was a pipe leak somewhere and it needed to be plugged. so here were bunch of men having dug an entire road section but nothing. this guy comes up. says to wait. he then holds rods (assuming dowsing rods) and says "here. dig here" and there was water there.

it can be a fluke but these men were tired and suddenly there was excitement.
The obvious solution that yields 90% of the benefit at 5% of the cost is to open the window and increase ventilation. (Although admittedly not addressing particulate issues if that’s a problem)

Since most building standards are set by the society of HVAC engineers, there’s a pretty obvious bias, and efficiency people seem to take the bait. We tend to use these systems to make shittier buildings marginally ok for human habitation. Architects care about $/ft for normal buildings and cool looking designs that get them awards for fancy buildings.
Hey, creator of Fornjot here.

> I do question whether Rust is the write choice for defining models,

You're not the only one :-)

As I've written in reply to other comments (here and elsewhere), it was just the easiest option to start with, given that the rest of the project is also written in Rust. Fornjot is architected to be language-agnostic, so we're not bound to Rust on the modeling side.

> but it does seem like a cool project.

Thank you!
I wasn't on the Chrome team, but on teams adjacent to it that used the Chromium codebase and toolset, and my recollection is that before gn there was gyp. ("Generate your project"). Gyp was a lot less Blaze-like.

I dont think an f2p game and your typical "open-source" software have anywhere near the same business model.
Yes, this is important. It depends on whether your buyer is a strategic acquirer, a private equity fund or simply some party that wants to run the business 'as is' because they want a new challenge.

I'm going to hazard a guess that the party you have in mind is in the first category.

To be blunt: I don't think it is possible to draw a line between 'acquirer is acting in good faith' and 'acquirer is trying to get critical information'. Unless you feel that you are well protected, that your business is hard to duplicate and that you have no secrets that you do not want them to learn you will be taking risk, sometimes a lot of risk.

The best way to mitigate that risk is to ensure that only independents have access to your internal data prior to the deal and that those independents are beholden to you and to you alone. This may cause the deal to break off, but that too is a risk that you may have to take.

Ultimately, the question is one of trust, and the thing you have to ask yourself going in with the items that you are going to disclose 'am I going to regret doing this if the deal does not go through'. One way to get more comfort is to negotiate a break-off fee that gets parked in escrow conditional to the acquiring party backing out of the deal. That amount should be carefully calibrated to allow the other party to back out with some grace and for you to have sufficient compensation for anything that they might have learned that they can use to their advantage (even if indirectly).

Get yourself a good corporate finance advisor for strategic acquisitions, set up a carefully audited dataroom and just as much as you should look at the acquirer you should also look at the parties doing the DD (especially since you won't be paying them). If things are not to be disclosed to the acquiring party make sure your deal team knows exactly what these items are so nobody goofs and accidentally hands over the crown jewels, keep in mind that this is all 'upside' to the acquirer so nobody will get mad with you for keeping that to yourself. If you have trade secrets do not allow these to be handed over during DD, only post acquisition.

I'm kind of late to this, but hopefully you see my post.

You have fallen into a losing trap.

What's your goal in this losing trap? You want to be better than that competitor? Lets say you are #1 against them. You then go looking for that next 'competitor' and you end up spending all your energy worried about being #1. There will always be someone bigger and better than you. You might grow to a point where you're comparing your dic... i mean jet size. So successful. But then Elon Musk lands his cyberplane next to yours and you lose your mind.

The moment you put this losing trap out of your mind and say to yourself... i have no competitors. You take that reclaimed energy and put it where it matters. What could your product do better? Go spend that energy on that instead. Instead of spending time on this thread, could you have instead improved something

You have no competitors. You don't even need to concern yourself with possible competitors. You are entirely focused on value. When you do this, you never have to worry about these alleged competitors.

> because of the runtime! It's so dead simple to develop and deploy PHP.

As someone who had to deploy PHP applications: hell no. For developers it might be easy, but for admins, the runtime is nowhere near good. Sure if you think deploying your site using scp, already discovered rsync to do this, or even use the cutting edge way of deploying by using a git checkout on the server, you might think it's great. But that's how you take down sites or have service interruption.

The problem is not that it cannot be done right, the problem is that the runtime enables and even promotes such bad practices, and makes doing it properly harder than it should be. And then we don't go into php extensions, performance tuning, profiling, scaling, ...

They will get an "expert" with 40 hours of training to vouch for it.

I can't believe WRJ came up on HN. But, where are you seeing that? WRJ only has one zip code (that I know of), 05001.

WRJ (population between 2,000-3,000) is not only smaller than Cleveland, it is not actually a town. WRJ is a village of the town of Hartford, VT and probably would not be known at all without the railroad station.

Found it: WRJ mail sorting plant is a "sectional center facility" for a lot of NH and VT.

A destination sectional center facility (SCF) is a processing and distribution center (P&DC) of the United States Postal Service (USPS) that serves a designated geographical area defined by one or more three-digit ZIP Code prefixes. A sectional center facility routes mail between local post offices and to and from network distribution centers (NDCs) and Surface Transfer Centers (STCs), which form the backbone of the network.

"Just-so stories that support their preferred ideas" + "so nothing prevents you from taking culture and beliefs into account when you create a model."

A litte OT but,... years ago i read a HN-Topic, about um 'What to change if we could'. I read some postings, where people seem realy angry with abuse, misuse and malpractice, done by people who may or even may not wanted to be remembered as: 'This is our work, we do this cos we are in empowered to do so' (won't explain it more, back to more context:)

My conclusion by that time was, questioning: 'Is privatizing favourable?' Cos there is confusing data, complex situations and a need for easy hypotheses...(and solutions maybe) The assumption that time was, that the gov spend a (huge) budged to pacify many more conflicting 'partys' than a private entity would like to do/or will, cos generating income through excessive spending (may 'only work when'/'need expotential growth') means nothing more than the need to reinvest profits to bigup the businesses.

And now really OT, I remember some of the friends around Putin are building contractors, and the TV-shows about the war in Ukraine or Syria before um...

This feels more like the latter.
There seems to be a bit of a false dilemma presented in this article (which otherwise makes some very valid points). It's like it's saying "If a company doesn't ban anything, then the site becomes unusable, therefore a company should be able to ban whatever it wants". This is similar to the Politician's Syllogism.[0]

To their credit, the author does suggest that there should be a free market in which different companies can experiment with different moderation policies. They even, correctly, suggest that what's needed is some sort of interoperable protocol to allow people to communicate between sites (which hopefully will be required by the EU's recent DMA proposals[1]).

What's missing, though, is the possibility that a company could let users choose what filtering they want without having to abandon the platform and start somewhere new. So, for example, Twitter could by default ban conspiracy theories and misinformation, but if a user is an adult then they should be able to opt in to see that sort of content. That would respect the principle of free speech while still allowing the site to continue to look almost the same for almost all users.

And just another example. Path of Exile is a game known for its visual clutter when you reach the end game. You have so many mobs and skills flying around it is very difficult to tell what is going on. You can buy cosmetics to make different skill gems appear different when they are cast, including mobs. Often, these alternative skill cosmetics create a greater visual clarity than their default. My point is that if there is a skill that can one-shot kill my character i'd like to see it as clear as day when it is coming. Paying money in Path of Exile gets me that.

Even with Rocket League microtransactions are a bad idea. It incentivizes the developer to make attaining items through gameplay a slog in order to get you to skip that by paying up. If there was no way to get those items through mtx, they'd make the process of getting them fun.

Also, games are supposed to be a form of escapism, where the gameplay matters, not who you are and how much money your parents make.

You can argue in favor of the game itself being free allowing people to save 10 or 20 bucks. But gameplaywise Microtransactions inevitably make the gameplay experience worse, without exceptions.
