For the curious, SRI = SubResource Integrity. It’s a hash of the file, and browsers will not use the file if there’s a mismatch: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subres...

(ps, I dislike the name; you don’t encounter the term “subresource” anywhere else in webdev. It’s a “subresource” of the HTML document resource, eyeroll)
SRI might prevent you from getting malicious code, but these privacy enhancing methods feel like smoke and mirrors to me.
There are a few outliers, but yeah. Per policy, no code is allowed on laptops. And because Google's build tooling is very centralized basically everybody works on the same kind of machine.

The folks developing Chrome for Windows or iOS apps might have different workflows, but even then they aren't going to be using brew because of Google's third party code policies.
I've seen 412 "precondition failed" returned when there is that sort of conflict. For example, Google Cloud Storage returns 412 if you try to replace exactly one resource (defined as data + generation or etag) with new data: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/request-preconditions

There were legitimate concerns around the new vaccine technologies from the beginning and those have proven correct - the trials missed both the AstraZeneca clotting and the mRNA heart inflammation.

Those effects were then constantly downplayed in mass media as they became known and the people drawing attention to them were ridiculed on social media. I’ve had many discussions about the AZ vaccine on HN, having to link to the EMA report which was clearly showing that depending on age for some people the risk of death from Covid was similar to the risk of death from the AZ vaccine. On reddit I was shadow-banned after 1 single message mentioning the EMA report as a reply to someone claiming that AZ was perfectly safe and people were being paranoid.

The mRNA heart inflammation was similarly dismissed both in the press and online even as many European countries were stopping use of Moderna for young people.

Besides the two big ones, mRNA vaccines often cause lymph node swelling - which is painful and especially for women might be alarming as lumps are associated with breast cancer. My partner had this, with strong pain radiating in the chest and was so worried they had to go to the hospital to have it checked out. Nobody told us about this or other potential side effects. The so-called doctor which gave me my booster couldn’t even speak the local language properly.

Finally there’s the fact that the vaccines put many people out of commission for several days.

You see, there’s no need to talk about autism or 5G signals, because there’s enough real issues to be discussed. The problem is that many don’t want to have those discussions and would rather stick their head in the sand and pretend that vaccines are perfect and a universal cure.
Personally disappointed that they didn’t refresh the Mac Mini with M2.

> I love the "good luck". As if it's some magic that we do to get applications run on the internet.

For those of us that haven't gone through the internet of the late 1990s or early 2000s as a software developer, where it was the norm for everyone to self-host their hobbyist or semi-professionally-operated online services on rented or bought linux boxes, it actually often is some kind of black magic.

You probably can't do much about strikes to the heat shield because that has to point towards the sun at all times, but if you knew that a micrometeoroid is on route to strike your mirror you can turn the telescope and let the meteoroid strike a less sensitive part instead.

Of course you can't predict single strikes, but maybe you can create a statistical model which direction strikes are most likely to come from, and prefer observations that point the telescope in the least dangerous orientations. Maybe there's even some seasonality to it due to interactions with the moon or with other planets, and you can just schedule observations in a particular way that reduces risk.

I've taken the opposite approach a lot of times. So instead of asking what you can add you might want to look at what apps / bookmarks that you can remove. Do you need a link to the reddit frontpage, or can you narrow it down to one or two specific subreddits that you want to check, or maybe remove it entirely if it does not add much value to your daily life.

Apps that I would recommend however are many of the apps that tries to gamify physical activity. I use Garmin, but I am not sure if the app works without owning the accompanying smart watches and there are plenty of alternatives, and the gamification and accountability that it offers around physical activity makes it a lot easier to get out of the door (which is always the hard part). Physical activity has long been known to have a huge positive effect on mental capacity and health so well worth spending an hour or so every day on.
I'm disputing the claim that a premise of the argument is necessarily knowing the final vote count prior to launching the scheme. This knowledge is not actually necessary, although having it would certainly be beneficial.

Pages on any social media associated with the US National Parks (the department and the parks themselves) are very nice looking, promote healthy activities, and are mildly educational (and give you some positive rabbit holes to go down, like identifying plants or birdwatching).

I love the way Ory is set up and documented to be understandable and deployable as components. I played with Kratos a couple weeks ago and made a single vm deployment using sqlite on fly.io. The configuration documentation for Kratos was a bit dense, there's so much functionality in there already despite it being just out of beta so I pushed my config to github so you can get going on fly.io with it immediately:

Ask HN: What are the largest static sites you know of?
Largest in terms of number of pages. The only result in google search seems to be of a now defunct website. Also interested in knowing about the challenges faced in hosting the same. Recently tried hosting a ~ 25 million page site. Broke all the static site hosting providers out there.
Yeah... I do exactly that fairly frequently (often enough it's a running gag in my family that if you want to call me - call my wife, since I won't have my phone.)

It turns out that your phone is an incredible tool, but only if taken in small doses. In larger doses - it's a nightmare device, actively designed and engineered to suck as much free time from you as possible.

The answer is simple: Stop using it except for explicit reasons.

If I want to dick around with tech - I'll use my desktop/laptop.

My phone is for

- Checking messages twice a day, once in the morning, once in the evening (sometimes more frequently if I'm coordinating with or meeting folks).

- Maps & GPS

- Shared internet connection if I need to use my laptop while out and about

- Unlocking my e-bike

That's it. I'm down to about 5 total apps I open (phone/camera/messages/maps/ebike) and I have never liked my phone more.

5 years ago I was on my phone all the time and miserable. It's much better to lug around a magazine or kindle, or turn on a podcast. Just don't get sucked into the time trap that "social media" is engineered to be. It's literally digital cancer.

Basically - don't open websites or social media apps at all.

I think there is this:

> Big companies want people who are smart enough to do the work, but obedient enough to put up with all the bullshit that comes with working at a big company.

But then you also have the companies who see other companies do it, so they cargo cult. Those are companies you definitely want to avoid. Their entire stack is because of cargo culting not because of an engineering need.

I think you also have a few of the Bro Culture companies who do this as a hazing ritual.
> I’m in a battle to minimize social media and related apps influence over my life.

Get rid of the social media apps. You don't need them. You're lying to yourself if you think that you do. Nobody is going to miss your Instagram or Facebook posts. TikTok is a stupid waste of time and likely algorithmically programmed to make you hate your country (why we let China ban our social media apps and then let them operate in our country I'll never understand) and Reddit is a cesspool of awful, uninformed opinions and if you really need to visit a special interest community there you can just visit that manually. You don't need an account and you don't have anything interesting to say so there's no reason to post.

Instead, fill your home screen with apps with positive goals. For me, this includes having Downdog, btwb, Fitness (Apple), Wikipedia, Maps, my local newspaper, and similar style apps with all red dot notifications turned off.

> But I need to sell things on Facebook marketplace so I'll have to keep my account.

No. Use eBay or Craigslist, sell it at a yardsale, or stop buying stuff you don't need. If you can't stomach that then you delete your actual Facebook account and create a new one specifically for marketplace.

> But how will I stay in touch with all of these groups and influencers that I follow who post entertaining content?

You won't. That's the point. Otherwise stop stressing about being addicted to social media and just embrace it. There's no separation of "people I like to follow" and "I feel addicted". You cannot have one without the other.

> I'm going to lose touch with friends and family.

Good. People come and go, including close friends and family members. And if the primary way you stay in touch is social media, well, you're just lying to yourself about your relationship with them. Let it go. It's unhealthy to cling to past relationships.

> Yea but I do stay in touch but I also like to see their new baby pictures

Well great, instead of seeing all of this stuff beforehand, just see them in person like you regularly do and ask them to show you pictures and then you can sit down and have a meaningful interaction.

Yes I understand that HackerNews and LinkedIn and other sites that I use are also social media. There are degrees of addictiveness. I don't believe you can only "minimize" top social media apps. They do provide value to a lot of people, but if you feel that you're being pulled away from your real life and you're literally posting asking how to win the battle over social media apps and their influence, the best thing you can do is start disengaging with the most addicting ones.

Some people can buy a bag of M&Ms and eat just one and put the bag down. Most people can't.
What are the issues? I freaked out for a second because I'm pretty sure I host materialicons font files and css files.

I checked the docs though and it seems like self-hosting is within the license.

Maybe material icons are different or maybe I'm misreading this page.

https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/material_icons
That's plain wrong. Sure, if you used Monotype's there will be issues (because they're so litigious), but Google Fonts only hosts open-source fonts so there's no reason to just search the correct font and host that instead (unless you somehow manually tweaked the URL to get Product Sans: that's illegal even if you loaded it from Google's CDNs).

You are absolutely right. But if you i.e. load foo.com/ which is just 10kb of HTML, you have a very good chance that your TCP congestion window is not yet scaled to match your actual path bandwidth, so transferring foo.com/static.js might take longer than from a CDN or a "hot" tcp connection. On the other hand, if you load too many ressources from either foo.com or mycdn.com, you might hit the TCP multiplexing limits (6 TCP connections in browsers) and stall loading. Equally distributing resources across foo.com and mycdn.com will give you 2x6 TCP connections, so a stall is less likely. It really depends on a ton of factors, your network link, the amount of resources and their size, OS parameters etc. So there is no general rule of thumb here.
The M1 pro and M1 max are faster than the M2. Might as well get those.
This is my future plan too. Make a rooftop solar with integrated battery and buy a high speed starlink.
Let try to put this as concisely as possible. When you put an algorithm in code, when rubber hits the road, you have to make certain assumptions of how things work, eg how events are ordered, how fsync works, what kind of failure scenarios you are expecting, etc. More likely than not, the reality will be a little different. No to measure just innocent bugs in the code.

My favorite example is Paxos. Its algorithm fits on a single slide. But it’s notoriously hard to make it actually work correctly in production.
In a lot of cases, removing the JS would make the site more functional. Imagine how much nicer online shopping would be if you had mostly-static HTML pages.

This is wonderful and IMO the answer to the “broken” software dev interview. Leetcode is a hazing ritual that needs to end.

- Have the candidate do some code review

- Have candidate describe how they productionize an app
There will be millions of no-longer-supported Apple units out there, it makes sense to give them a second life with Linux rather than throwing them in a landfill.

The article didn't mention this specifically, but one reason Netflix may want Roku is to get more info on which streaming services consumers may be switching to or watching most. And maybe they can even get some info on which programs are being watched. Not sure if that's possible with the streaming TV interface.

I have never, not once, replaced a USB C cable. To charge my phone (S21 Ultra) I still use the fat (high amps) cable that came with my Oneplus 6T!

Besides the fact that I have a drawer full of usb C cables that have come with other products, I have enough to last me into retirement pretty much.

Whereas every single person I've known who's owned an Apple product has replaced their cable multiple times (heatshrink and or cable coming apart from connector) and they used to get charged $50 for the privilege of buying a replacement!

> we already have other languages with new features

Not languages that can interoperate with JS the way TS does (except for flow and similar type checkers).

TS success is that it's a superset of JS (unlike say CoffeScript). So you can throw some JS and it will be valid TS. The point of being a superset is that you can add new stuff. Types, enums, annotations.

So the only argument why enums are bad except for that it's not in JS? Why does it matter, just because a JS developer has to learn more things if they switch to TS? The whole argument hinges on the premise that TS should not add anything that JS doesn't have except for types, but why is that?
I use Waking Up for guided meditations (if you can stand Sam Harris). There are a few promo code around Google for a few free weeks. It's a 'how to meditate' course followed by daily meditations, with a bunch of podcast-style interviews and collections of recordings. The course has really helped my shape my meditation practice, and I usually do the daily meditation, which has really helped me focus myself.

(Another guided meditations app is Plum Village - free, but a bit worse quality, with a bit more random order of things.)
I was curious about trying out my own diff so I went to the home page: https://www.difflensapp.com/ and didn't see an option.

It would be interesting to be able to append a github compare / pr / tree-ish link to see the diff via difflens, so maybe something like:

https://www.difflensapp.com/github.com/rails/rails/commit/7d...

would render that diff via diff lens. just an idea to get more people testing.
It's custom fonts that don't share metrics with built in fonts. If they don't do that the page content jumps around when the fonts load. Custom fonts were a terrible idea, I wish browsers would just drop support for them.

EDIT: Unless there's a way to include metrics outside the font there really isn't a way to prevent reflows when it loads other than blanking the entire page until then.

I have found this concept very useful professionally. Everyone has a browser. You can make self-contained HTML documents that do all kinds of great stuff! I’ll often use it to share an interactive dataset… use a script to pull together a big JSON, in-line an appropriate charting library, and go.

Sometimes performance isn’t amazing, but that’s usually directly related to the essential complexity of the dataset in question.
