Well, some of the ad money goes to content creators. Since my wife and I each spend more time on YouTube than we do on any of Disney, Netflicks, Amazon Prime, or Hulu we “splurge” $15/month on Google’s family plan that gets no ads and all the music and music videos we need.

Even though I am a big fan of open distributed media like Mastodon (follow me at @mark_watson@mastodon.social), I like to see quality paid for services. I am looking forward to spending $2/month on Twitter if they require real-people paid accounts to get rid of the bots.
Not sure what you mean, but outside of tax info, as per Quebec link above,
no pricing info by, or on the product is illegal here.

And it is enforced.
How so people but anything not knowing the prices? When something on a store doesn't have a price, I ask someone if I want it enough or, more likely, won't but it. If a store near me regularly wouldn't have prices posted, I'd stop going there. It seems like any store posting prices would have a competitive advantage. It's every store holding the line?

Seeing Bourdain pop up always hits the feels. His show inspired me to pick up my shit and travel the world to experience food culture. As someone that also struggles with chronic depression his passing was also a wake-up call to start doing something about my own problems.

RIP mate, miss you all the time.
People are really pushing the bug eating thing, aren't they? They never mentioned that in The Jetsons...
Thank goodness you don't need to do any of that then.

If all you want is to host static html, then any free hosting service will suffice. I.e. let them create a GitHub account and show them git add / git commit / git push and you're done.
I've built quite a lot with Elixir at this point, and I love it, and I haven't written any erlang at all (other than maybe a couple of very simple function calls). I don't think this is a real problem, except for those building very complex applications.
The Eiffel Tower was built as a temporary display for the World's Fair. It was very much intentionally designed to impress other designers; that was kind of the point
I think the difference is cryptocurrency, and the fact that sites are made by programmers, and programmers have a high tolerance for hassles.

When there was less distinction between programmers and just everyday people, convenience was a high priority in the authoring tools.

Web3 could be amazing. There's no reason it couldn't just be like BitTorrent, but for web pages, with even better performance on mobile.

JS frameworks are just files. Nothing really troublesome about that, besides the fact modern expectations demand a backend and CMS, unless you really want the full retro experience.

Even then, most of what backends do could be done by some hypothetical extension to WebDAV for search. Or just like, add a SQLite query verb to HTML with a standard permissions file or something. There are ways this could all be easy.

SSL is another problem. There used to be one protocol and one thing to set up. HTTP. Now you need certs, and it takes a bit more effort, and it's possible to mess up in a way that takes a half hour to fix. Not quite frictionless.

Facebook is free, but personal sites aren't.

Web3 could be exactly what saves us, giving us a standard platform to make sites for free, that does the security for us, doesn't need a domain name, and is generally really easy while still following modern standards.

We could literally have a browser with a "Make a site" button that works like a file manager, with a "Link to seedbox" button.

IPFS and the like are trying, but none quite reach BitTorrent's level of practicality, and they're all weighed down by cryptocurrency.

I think we really do need a Web4.
URIs are not supposed to be part of the UI/UX, but they unavoidably have leaked and will continue to leak into it. Therefore, making those URIs most likely to leak into the UI/UX be user-friendly is very good advice.
It's kind of sad that Heroku has been left to die a slow death. What it brought to the industry was so far ahead of it's time in setting up easy yet powerful deployments and infrastructure.

Sure, it was never cost effective at scale, but that wasn't the point. The product has been, and continues to be, very inspirational from a customer UX standpoint. I say this as someone that works in deployment and infrastructure tooling. No matter how many "next gen" deployment tools we build to take advantage of the most sophisticated deployment techniques, the pure simplicity and elegance of Heroku was something to behold.

While it's sad that Heroku seems to be on it's way out, it has undoubtedly moved the industry forward and there are a number of compelling options to replace it and this point. Excited to see where the industry moves from here.
The incentives are different if it's built & maintained by the government, so less pressure for "growth & engagement". You're lucky to be in an area where the problem has been tackled by your government (and they seem to have done a good job) as opposed to offloaded to a private company like here in the UK.
Maybe that's why I don't work at google :)
Sure just shrug it off. I wish I had someone telling me this stuff some 10 years ago. But you do you!
I tutor kids in my free time from ages 4 up to college. I find that Processing/p5.js is a great tool for teaching younger kids how to use their imagination through the vessel of built-in functions + tweaking arguments to instantly see their input on the canvas in the form of bright, flashy colors/shapes. It requires a much more hands on approach and can really only be done well in 1 on 1 settings. While I wish there was a way for me to be less of a navigator in terms of the amount of code that goes on the screen, I have come to find that kids are generally exceptional at pattern recognition. Even my student that is 4 (although he’s a smart kid) is capable of writing his own scripts now without much guidance in his logic/syntax. I had my own start with micro worlds as a kid, and played with netlogo in a college class. That made me a staunch supporter of kids getting into code through agent/turtle based environments
What's the frustration specifically? My experience on Chromecast is that they actually seem to show fewer ads there than on a browser.

Edit: or is maybe the issue here the mere presence of ads versus them being blocked in a browser?

Restructuring Faces in Videos with Machine Learning
Most big tech engineers who went to SV in 2010's have experienced unprecedented appreciation to their equity and that forms their baseline of expectations. For a lot of people, it is not "oh my 100k a year equity grew to 300k a year", its my income per year grew 300k a year and my expectations are for 500k a year from now on. This is especially bizarre at companies which fail to make money because their business model is flawed, no amount of engineering talent can make a shitty business model functional. What this all means is that we are in for a slow down in the next ten years.
So you mean a government regulation by politicians made the internet worse? You don’t say…

>In fact, most users watch YouTube from the app, so no ad blocking.

If many people used ublock on the Web, many would iuse NewPipe to enjoy the same ad free experience on mobile (Android). I don't understand why so we few people care about their attention? Is this just ignorance? Or do they willingly want their desires to be manipulated in order for creators to be paid by platforms? Me I'm just happy to tip the channels I follow and be a proud pirate.
I didn't tell you what to think about it. Just notice the logo and reflect on its place in our collective consciousness. It's your prerogative to embrace it.
Nice to meet you. I am completely un-Ruby Pythonista, and I like Elixir a lot.

I felt the same way as topic starter, and I invested couple months to make several tools Elixir-native -- the project was cancelled with the layoff.

I think, this is a compromise. I strongly dislike Erlang abstraction leak, but I understand the desire to deliver the language, and iterate on cleaning up toolchain & libraries later.
Smoke alarms typically take standard 9V batteries you can buy at the drug store, no? At least non-hardwired ones do.
I mostly agree. I think the underlying technology for some of the social systems that have been in place for hundreds of years.

For example, a new country with a new government could set up their governing bodies on a blockchain for full transparency. Ditto with their financial and currency based systems

The real issue is that there's very limited _demand_ for any of these things at present, so the money sunk into it needs to look for something that siphons cash from the existing systems
People complain a lot about Youtube ads and how awful they are but as a thought experiment I once tried to imagine the amount of storage and bandwidth Youtube must need everyday to operate.

So after some basic research it looks like they need to add almost 1 petabytes of storage and I couldn't find much info on the bandwidth and servers it uses.

As much as I don't like Google for their shady business practices, I couldn't help but marvel at this feat of engineering. It's mind blowing tbh.

I mean I can still access my video with 10 views I uploaded 8 years ago.. can't do that on my HDD and they have it in 5 formats.
I found a youtube premium-lite option.

It removes adds, but does not allow background play and a few other perks. But it only costs 6 euros.

I found it a better deal than premium so I downgraded.
For a lot of time I've been trying to find e.g. a bank that would not basically require an Android or iOS device for me to shop online. Many of them even have "root detectors" which basically means these programs won't work in "rooted", "de-Googlefied" and/or free Android implementations.
After some complains the only thing I managed to get is for them to fallback to SMS 2FA which at this point I consider a blessing.

I've already said this numerous times here on HN, but it is a dark future we are getting into. The only thing that came remotely close to this level of "you require this proprietary software for daily life" level of danger was ActiveX.
HED: DOJ Issues New Guidance on Web Accessibility
FYI, several alternative youtube frontend apps are available for "Chromecast with Google TV" (which is just an Android TV device), for instance the opensource Newpipe. (Though this is piracy, and you shouldn't do piracy, because piracy hurts Google and content creators - who will gladly take donations -)
I think we are just more used to Elixir docs.

The few times I've had to jump into Erlang docs, in truth, it has not been much of a problem. My main problems have always been the differences in string/binaries types between Erlang and Elixir.
I’d eat some of the more famous-for-being-edible-bug bugs like witchetty grub or some spiced locusts, but I’ll pass on the cockroach milk thanks.
Considering all the sci-fi authors listed wrote stories featuring dystopian themes - yes. Even the most optimistic one features earth "depleted of natural resources". I think this article says something about the state of pop sci-fi novels as well as cuisine.
> There’s so many examples of people being killed by trucks backing in populated areas. And probably even more examples of trucks crushing cyclist when turning right over the cycling lane.

Few years back a girl died at a zebra crossing near my house; she started to cross but turned back half-way for whatever reason. Trucker was taking a turn and didn't see her (no way he could have), girl expected the truck to stop at the zebra crossing or maybe just didn't notice it, and ... yeah :-(

Not the trucker's fault as such, no way he could have done better, but it goes to show just how dangerous these things can be. Not the girl's fault either, but any discussion about right of way or what an idiot that driver is or whatever is utterly and completely pointless if you're lying under a truck. Always be careful, and always take responsibility for your own safety, even if you shouldn't have to. It's the smart thing to do.

Most truck drivers are pretty careful/decent in my experience (unlike van drivers or taxis...), but it's just so darn hard to see what's going on around you.

Because it only works on a browser, people also experience youtube on other devices (smart TV, chromecast, App on a non-rooted phone).
Do you pay creators in some ways?
Arguably because there's no parallel system where all complaints a company receives must go to a government-public system to get more eyeballs on it, to actually determine case counts, and if a company adequately and thoroughly responds in all cases.
use a vpn and new chrome session in some low income country. this will remove most of the ads

but now what many content creators are doing nowadays is making the ads part pf the video itself, so you cannot skip it or block it. The product placement may transition seemingly in such a way as you may be listening to a video about the history of some math concept and suddenly the narrator will start talking about VPNs, and when that happens I just hit the back button. At this point the problem has gotten bad enough that I stopped watching any channels where this may happen, which is many of them now.
Be extra careful with the power supply, though. Check that it still provide proper 5V and 9V, not 7 and 15V...
No, I understand how natural selection works. I'm a fan of Stephen Jay Gould.

Please keep in mind the original comment I was responding to:

> Eggs are evolutionarily designed to survive falling out of nests and perches.

My response is "no, they are not". First, like you said, they are not "designed" in any way. But that's the pedantic response. Second, there's no selective pressure for eggs resistant to dropping from a nest, since they are lost anyway and won't pass any genes. It's likely that something else is being selected for -- or at least, that the more resistant shell is not harmful to reproduction of the species -- but there's no selection for nest-drop-resistant eggs because that confers no advantage. Maybe it's just harmless, which can make the trait survive. See the difference?

> There was no decision or work/progress towards an end goal.

It helps to assume everyone understands this, otherwise we cannot get to the meat of the discussion without nitpicking every single sentence.

Although I also have issue w/the Elixir docs, they tend to have more explanations in them than the Erlang ones. Marginally :)

I am one who came not from Ruby, btw. My roots come from a variety of things including Smalltalk, C, C++, Perl (dare I admit), Java, Javascript and Python, among those most influential on my life (and in that order).

I'm really happy w/Elixir, finally getting back to a better true object oriented system (for those who know the roots of such).
You can use sponsorblock to automatically skip a variety of creator-inserted ads and interaction reminders ("please subscribe/like" etc).

There are extreme barriers to entry for airplane manufacturing. You can’t just get a couple million dollars from some VC and have an MVP 747 in 6 months. There’s a reason that only 2.5 (.5 being COMAC) companies in the world that produce commercial airliners. A new player has to have tens of billions of dollars in investment and also be willing to wait 10-15 years before a single plane is approved by the FAA and other regulatory bodies, and unless you have a radically different airframe (Boom, etc) your company will directly compete on price with Boeing and Airbus, who have a 100 year head start. There’s also a strong incentive to not let Boeing go under, because 1.5 airline companies is dramatically worse for [safety, cost, innovation] than having 2.5.

So not only is it NOT a free market (MASSIVE long-term investment plus enormous warranted regulatory burden), but we don’t want it to be one! Because we don’t ever ever want Boeing or Airbus to fail because that would be devastating to national security and safety etc.

All this is to say that “a race to the bottom” in this context is maybe more harmful than in other markets, because there really isn’t much backpressure (outside regulatory oversight) to keep standards high.
For Android TV, there's even the even nicer https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext which integrates SponsorBlock.
If anything, people will change how they get meat, not how much of it they consume.

Chickens eat the bugs for you. Pigs eat left over vegetable scraps, skin, parts you cut off. They also eat leftovers.

Chickens and pigs, if raised locally, recycle for you.

I see people raising their own animals more often, before giving up meat.
I wonder if a editor action review process would help here. If reviewers were themselves reviewed for their actions, and promoted/demoted based on their adherence to a set of public guidelines.

...for example, deleting an article that you took a political position on - should get you demoted from being a reviewer in general.
This really has nothing to do with broken windows or probably even approaches to crime at all. Crime went down for thirty years basically everywhere. Now it is going up basically everywhere. Hard to point at a specific policy when it’s so universal across locales

Your hierarchy won't necessarily help others. For URIs that leak into the UI/UX to be short is almost certainly good advice. You can always have them be redirects to the hierarchical names you would prefer.

Don't believe me? Twitter, for example, has short, meaningful URIs for user's status pages, and long, meaningless-to-users URIs for tweets. And in the sea of tweets there is no hierarchy in their naming.
These "smartcard" ID systems (which were reasonably open) are getting deprecated all over the EU in favor of smartphone-based solutions.
Yes I've heard this. Lack of product releases since 2019 and the significant reduction in headcount all point to that, still making $300m-500m ARR revenue so not something you should let die lightly...

I'm working on Northflank, a production ready Heroku alternative over at https://northflank.com

Builds, deploys, stateful workloads, advanced networking, crons, API and more.
In particular I was talking about parser/compiler formalizations made in the 50's/60's with the participation of the linguistic community. Kleene stars and their connection to regular languages, the Chomsky hierarchy, pushdown automata and table construction to make efficient bottom up parsers. And the benefits and confidence that these formalizations can provide to the programmers implementing these systems to the point that today, parser generators are an afterthought. No one would try to implement a parser today using a pile of if/then statements or well, those that do will probably find the road to enlightenment after some initial pain and then some googling.

This isn't Math in the sense of numerical computing or solving partial differential equations. But its a better and more natural abstraction to work from. We've figured out the types of graphs we require to express our computations, and we've figured out the language representations that generate those graphs, as well as efficient methods to generate those graphs given an input language and a sequence of sentences. Add to that all the rich developments of type theory.

The Photon/Hyperfiddle thing seems to me to be somewhat similar. It's declarative approach, let the compiler figure out all the cut points and join points, and just stop worrying about it. I'm sure if you looked at their source code, you'd find a lot of code concerned with walking the program tree and coloring different sections, then transforming those sections in a context-dependent way in to something that can run on a server versus a client with well defined interactions.

I’m not seeing the connection you’re making between the admitted marvel of engineering at scale and ads.
lol you realize you don't have to pay the $2 million at once right. 400k is more than enough to afford a mortgage on a 2 million dollar house. they key is keeping other expenses low.
There are a couple of videos of some really chill music sessions posted by the artists that I used to put on every morning when my daughter was born.

I've seen the same few vids hundreds of times and I know, like I know the sky is blue and water is wet that they had no ads.

Couple years later, my son is born and that morning peace time comes for me to put on a vid or two, next thing I know, a couple of ads bang in the middle of the video. So jarring I can't explain how pissed I was, I got straight to rooting my TV and blocking ads.

The interesting part for me is that a YouTube premium trial Google had pushed on me ended just days prior.
I think it might be reasonable to start taking into consideration cutting off the international SIP trunk lines connecting India and the US. Or at the very least, blocking by default and making them opt-in for US subscribers. Out of hundreds of inbound calls I’ve received from Indians, NONE have been done conducted in good faith and ALL have been unsolicited.
I find YouTube basically unusable on any device except for my laptop with an adblocker. The ads are so intrusive and cut in at such jarring moments that it's just not worth it. It's not uncommon to have to tolerate several minutes of ads just to watch a sub-10 minute video.
