Flutter is also very good at animation. I suspect that a significant part of the motivation for Flutter was Android developers getting frustrated with the repeated unsatisfactory attempts at an animation API for Java Android. I think there are like 4 different animation APIs in Java Android now.
Twitter threads are frustrating no matter the content, after two replies I get a banner that blocks me from reading until I register.

What email service are you using ?
I just tried Zathura but found it did not support EPUB where mupdf has no problems with that format:

$ zathura Books/nonfiction/English/Douglas_Murray/Douglas_Murray-The_War_on_the_West-2022-HarperCollins-English.epub

error: Could not determine file type.

This is the version currently on Debian/Sid, with all packages installed (zathura, zathura-ps, zathura-djvu, zathura-cb). I also noticed zathura renders PDF differently (and noticeably slower) compared to mupdf. It does not use mupdf as a backend, instead depending on libpoppler:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libgirara-gtk3-3 (>= 0.2.7), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.16.0), libpoppler-glib8 (>= 0.18.0), zathura-abi-4

Which version of Zathura do you have installed?

[edit]

Checking around I noticed that Zathura can use mupdf as a backend but this is not enabled in the build currently on Debian/Sid. It is available in e.g. Arch [1] but Debian does not package this part. I'll build it myself and give it a try.

Find Your Language’s Primitives (2021)
Sure, I'm just suggesting your argument isn't terribly convincing. Maybe stick to the actual merits of the tech rather than appeal to the inability of humanity to accurately predict the future. That's not as much of a guarantee of success as you think, and indicates you are biased.
What is parallelism, anyhow? (2009)
It absolutely could. I usually get a new IP when I reboot my router.
This is unquestionably false for everyone I know including myself.

1. Many people already have built good relationships with their colleagues prior to WFH and talking to them over GVC helps the relationship. You are allowed to open up more when you know no one else is around except you and the person you're talking to 1:1. You don't have to be afraid that someone outside the meeting room or cubicle is going to hear you. A lot of the day-to-day frictions are also removed from the equation. Being completely honest, things like appearance, odor, height differences, physical presence, status symbols (watches, car keys, wallet, phones) all cause insecurities in a competitive office space. I find that in a remote work setting, you can focus more on the person as an individual.

2. Working remotely offers the flexibility to work from a location that better suits your social preferences. A LOT of my friends and myself were completely and utterly miserable socially working in the Bay Area. As soon as we had the option, we moved out and have built thriving social circles. It is not always the person's fault if they struggle to form meaningful friendships. It can also be the environment and whether it is a good fit. This eases social insecurity and allows colleagues to connect more authentically.

3. Working remotely offers the flexibility to detach from work and go do other things (if you don't have meetings etc.). This allows you to interact with people outside the office more and develop more meaningful relationships over time.

Remote work isn't about being locked up in a room and only communicating through a webcam. It is primarily about removing the unnecessary overhead that we previously thought was a prerequisite of work (e.g. commuting, "fake work", watercooler conversations, stressful and contrived socializing events at work, open office plans, can't work on other things during unnecessary meetings, running into people you don't like or who distract you, sexual tension with workers of the opposite sex, being exposed to people's bad moods, dirty public restrooms, walking to meeting rooms across the building, working from a cramped cubicle with smelly people, who can type louder and faster competitions, etc. etc. etc.)
Eight Core Java Questions
A lot of people seem to have an outdated concept of what crypto is and what advantages it offers.

For the record my stance is "some of this will probably stick around, but most of it is junk".

There's stuff like bitcoin, which is basically a digital asset.

There's stuff like monero, which is basically a digital asset that's very hard/impossible to track. So anything blackmarket/anti governmental.

There's stuff like USDC (stablecoins), which is literally supposed to be pegged to the US Dollar, and "supposedly" backed to some % (depends on the coin. Tether is an infamous nightmare waiting to happen to most people in and out of the scene). The main use being that it's VERY cheap and easy to move stable coins(not just for crypto trading but say if you want to send someone money), and you can get great interest rates on them by staking (6-8% compared to the average savings account of "fuck you for asking").

And then there's basically everything etherium spawned with smart contracts, which is just a token that can execute actions based on programmatic conditions.

None of that is "new" so to speak. Any code/database can already do something like that, but the quasi decentralized nature mixed with certain features does open some theoretically interesting opportunities.

It gets complicated from there and EVERYTHING above is filled with caveats and issues and other problems, but it certainly seems to have stuck around for quite some time, and had quite a lot of legit business use, for a "scam". There is 0 doubt that something like 90% of the coins out there are scams, and of the remaining 10% probably 99% of those will fail for some reason or the other, and of that remaining % a LOT of this will probably wind up abstracted waaaaaaaaay out like IP addresses are for the modern user, but yeah there's probably something there.
OpenZiti has an architecture of 'Edge' and 'fabric'. The Edge is at source and destinatation and outbound connects into the fabric. The fabric is SDN, edge connects and authenticates/authorises to controller based on embedded identity, then based on policy and rules, outbound connects to the data plane using smart routing over the mesh. The fabric only 'listens' for endpoints which have embedded, correct identity based on a process called 'bootstrapping trust' (there is a 5 part blog on this).

Clint and Ken did a really good ZitiTV on Friday which covered many of the cool superpowers of OpenZiti - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wOGvZqN6Co&ab_channel=OpenZ...
I thought it might be useful for people without a regular address like digital nomads, but it's not.
It's specifically for people "experiencing housing or homelessness difficulties and receiving support from one of our partner charities." Still a good initiative.
For starters, this submission is about learning synthesizers, while ngrid (according to adamnemecek at least) is about music composition. Two different areas in music.

Usually when people self-promote here on HN, it's closely related to the topic at hand, and people explain how it's related to or better than the submission. When adamnemecek promotes his ngrid project, he does no such thing and instead writes something like "I've been working on an IDE for music composition, launching in X months/weeks <insert link>" without describing it more, seems like they are just trying to get more clicks to their projects page. Probably works too, otherwise they wouldn't continue doing so.

And finally, anyone who have been reading comments on music-related submissions here on HN for the last 4 years (yeah, really! Take a look at https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... and go to the last page!) have seen ngrid being mentioned by adamnemecek on basically every single music-related submission.

There is a time and place for posting your own projects. Doing it on every submission that is slightly related to your projects theme is not that.
I’m seeing the concert ticket thing around lately as something this space could “solve”.

But why would NFTs or a blockchain be good here? We have an identifiable central authority, the ticket issuer, so… why do we need a decentralised record for that?

I mean, you could issue tickets to an event as NFTs, and it would probably work ok, but why bother?
Yeah people seem to be incapable of understanding that people have different preferences! It's like everyone is arguing that red is the best colour, no blue is clearly the best...
Ask HN: Why didn't Google have good competition?
What was their moat? It seems like from 1998 to 2005, no worthwhile competition came up. After 2005, they started building good moats.

But how come no other company with all their engineering prowess was able to compete with Google?
Could also just be plain bad luck. Dynamic IPs are given out based on availability. So you could stick with one for months if you keep your connection active and then just happen to lose it during one of the moments you unplugged the router. To google this would seem like a static IP that suddenly changed.
What exactly do you learn from your coworkers? It isn't like you are pair programming constantly with senior devs all the time.

I've learnt way more reading papers and documentation than being in the same physical space as more senior colleagues. People sometimes bring this point up re: onboarding but I don't quite understand what people learn that they can't do otherwise remotely.
Yes, when you zoom out, this debate become quite ridiculous. WFH has already been proven to not destroy the company and many roles beyond dev can be done remotely. The amount of road building, carbon emissions, fossil fuel, and traffic congestion generated for this questionable value of gathering every day is pretty staggering. It's the kind of thing we will look back at in future years in disbelief that we could be so wantonly wasteful with the limited resources of our fragile biosphere.
They absolutely aren't. Or at least not in the way people think. IF the tech has value it won't "Kill ticketmaster". It'll be adopted BY ticketmaster to make sure they have to pay fewer people on the front line to strip money from your wallet.

The, in theory, idea is that you can tie an NFT to an account, and make sure it can't be resold, but you could also tie a ticket to an ID, and that'd probably work better because it's not hard to spin up a wallet, get the "ticket" nft, and then sell the whole wallet.
Yep, I'm doubly less likely to sign up when you pull that crap.
It's not about the office, it's about the commuting, which can often increase the length of the working day by 25% or more, and can add a thoroughly miserable start and end to that day (stuck in traffic, or on delayed/overcrowded trains), and make life seem much worse even if you're doing enjoyable work with great people in a really nice office.

Offices have their pros and cons (WFH can be a horribly lonely experience for anyone who lives alone, for example). But it's removing the commuting that makes WFH such a massive win for most people. And a big win for the environment (which should be reason enough to try and keep it going)
I totally didn't get that all. But could be me.

This is right. That's why you should not only be looking at IRR but also multiple of money returned (MoM or MOIC). When you saw a couple of private equity fund presentations (of which VC is just one subset), you will better understand what the differences are and how this affects your potential investment as a limited partner in such a fund.

But let's also not forget that in many cases these funds are driven by their investors to focus on IRR. Many times these funds do not cater towards retail investors. The problem is therefore coming from the institutional side where people seem to be pushing these metrics.

>There's no way around it

You can have assets on chain that can be used as collateral which can be liquidated if a loan isn't paid back. Additionally lending money is not only done so people can borrow from it. For example decentralized exchanges need a lot of liquidity in order to execute trades without very much slippage. You can provide liquidity to them and they will pay out transaction fees to you in exchange.
But instead of coming up with PS, it would have been pretty straightforward to just install bash on Windows. Someone chose to go the PS way rather than the bash way. My question is what the reason was for making this choice.

> Nobody except Linux-first FOSS authors

Bourne shell and its predecessors and successors are traditional and common on most computer systems since the early 1970s (starting with the Thompson shell in 1971; see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_shell )

so, I would argue actually the other way around. "Everybody except Windows-only closed-source authors would expect people to have bash or similar shell working." The question is, why go for PS instead of adopting a regular shell.

It is possible but I don't want to get downvoted for no reason.
the latter, though I may have some Stockholm syndrome. killer features:

* objects are streamed, not text. I look upon sed and awk and their ilk as stone knives and bear skins. why not just dot into fields?

* first-class interaction with libraries. I can import managed DLLs and call their methods. I don't have to build weird little one-off tools or expose porcelain. I can get at everything, it's profoundly hackable in an un-Windows way.

* the language is vectorized - basically like broadcast operators in something like NumPy. $x.foo gives you x's foo if x is an object, or an array of foos if x is an array of objects. it's really really nice.

* separate commands in one binary and argument (sets) are first-class. there's consistent rules about what "-i" will be short for. personally, I can pull all the valid commands and arguments automatically into my accessibility software for voice typing. the whole standard "verb-noun" thing also makes commands be what you expect and discoverable.

things I don't like include the language itself, its weird bindings to .NET (it predated the C# dynamic support and modern collection types), the restriction to .NET, bad support for streams (not sequences), the slowness, and the syntax looks a bit goofy. but it's worth the warts.
Disroot and Next cloud.
Ok, then I misunderstood and am very confused.

You said "This a very popular idea but I don't fully accept it. Goals and desires are not static. They are path dependent and adaptive. I want a funding scheme that's able to fund that."

Which I interpret as "I reject the idea of setting some financial goal decades into the future. I want a scheme that is flexible and can accommodate changes to how I want to use my money."

How is that different than "If my goals change, I don't want to lose money."?
Wondering what people is using these days. Protonmail ? Hey ? Fastmail ?
>I hope I never become as intensely default-skeptical of new technologies.

You know, it's not skepticism for its own sake. You can actually read through some of the critiques you encounter and then conjure your own refutations against them rather than dismiss them without digesting them. You should also pay heed to the opinions of HN'ers more-so than any other group because it's overwhelmingly comprised of objective people who are both tech and finance savvy, which a majority of people involved in crypto are neither, ironically.

Here's a good one:

Deflationary currency & the hallmarks of a greater fool scheme: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30987714.

Here's a couple of my own opinions: The idea of peer-to-peer currency is ideal in theory, but it doesn't seem to work. You still get manipulation like with traditional currency, only the manipulators cannot be identified or held accountable, and there aren't hundreds of years worth of laws and regulations and systems for preventing these crimes and judging bad actors. PoW is viable but doesn't scale, unless we figure out a way to swallow whole planets-worth of fuel by 2100 every time someone wants to buy a baguette. PoS scales, but it's just reinventing banks in the most inefficient way imaginable, replete with all the centralized ills that crypto people ostensibly desire to escape.

Crypto is a new technology contending with a very old and mature one that's working well enough - finance. And though finance has some problems (nothing is perfect), crypto has solved none of them, other than fattening the wallets of a few scammers and lucky idiots.

I would love to hear of just one time where crypto solved a problem a person or business had where modern finance could not. A real example, a thing that actually happened, not a theoretical scenario. I haven't heard of one yet.

Of course, if you're married to an idea like "crypto good; skepticism bad", then no one can help you, and if that's the case, then I'd like to let you in on something (don't tell anyone!): SCMME is pumping and we're still early: great yields, stake and earn 10000% APY - you DO NOT want to miss this.'
People with anime profile pictures tweeting about stablecoins, going to the moon and WGMI are not some youth culture vanguard. OP tweet has self-selected into an online social world consisting of people in a similar mindset and demographic to his own.

There are some commercial software that you can run via wine.

so far, the best open source alternative (it's not perfect) is Inkscape with the new multi-page feature. You can import/export multi-page PDF documents.
>In those pricey plane seats they're among themselves.

Train travel also has multiple classes of service. And in some ways it's easier to keep people in their own half on a long train than on an A319 where they're only separated by a few feet and a curtain.

So I guess I don't see your point here? Unless you're claiming that terrorists travel first class on trains but can't afford it on planes.
>Unfortunately I did not have a phone number associated with this account. My understanding is I would have been able to recover my account, If I had one.

It boggles my mind how people can have their entire life tied to this service and not connect a phone number, especially since google regularly warns you during login that this can happen if you don't add your number. They even ask to confirm every now and then in case your number changed and you forgot to update it. If you're worried about giving them your number for data privacy reasons, you should not have used their service for your whole life's activities anyway.

Forcing yourself to get your social interaction requirements met at work isn't ideal.

It is like trying to get your protein requirements met from potatoes. Yes, you can if you force yourself and try really hard. However, it is much more efficient and pain-free to get it from a protein shake.

In this context, it means using the time you save with working from home and using it to meet people interested in the things you care about.
Not parent but:

Email, I'm using the POP3 and SMTP servers of the registrars of my domains. They also have IMAP and a web interface but I'm fine to look at my mail with K9 on my phone, delete the cruft and download the messages I need. You probably want IMAP and web mail.

Photos, I sync to my laptop with Syncthing and then backup as any other file. It means that I can look at all my photos only on my laptop because I don't sync between mobile devices. Occasionally I'd like to show a picture so old that's not even on the microSD card I passed along phones but nobody really care, telling the circumstances is always good enough.
I knew a handful of DOS commands at the age of 3 (late 1980s). My father was smart enough not to include “del” among those.
Bash is not a common denominator anywhere except Linux. Just write what you want as POSIX shell and it will work in a lot of places.

You already have to deal with platform-specific differences even (nay - especially!) across Linux with things like apt vs yum vs dnf vs pacman vs Nix. One more is really a non-issue.
How does account recovery work for those who lose access to their email?
You have to manage state within the rules of the framework, that's true. But the hard part of programming usually isn't syntax. Who cares if it's a different language/paradigm? It's a simple language and I only have to say a few words. It's still orders of magnitude less complex (this is not an exaggeration) than rolling your own framework with vanilla JS.

I would encourage you to find out why React is popular and why Mithril isn't on the assumption that the world isn't crazy.

Plus I've built a dual camera book scanner similar to https://www.diybookscanner.org/

And where necessary I have access to commercial high-speed duplex scanners which do require that the spine be cut. OK for old magazines, etc.
