This is really cool. Simple media servers are I think are where it's at. I know lots of people like applications to handle managing their media (a la iTunes) but I really prefer this type of organization method myself...it let me be a lot sloppier with the media metadata while still being able to find stuff in large collections.

Being entirely selfish, I do wish audio servers would focus a bit more on what kind of audio they can serve up. Something with robust support for tracker (mod, s3m, xm, it, mtm, 669, etc), chip (most old 8-bit PCs), and game music formats (SNES, Genesis/MD, etc.) for old systems would be amazing and something I've long looked for as it would instantly open up millions of songs without requiring several terabytes of storage. Many libraries like FFmpeg support many of those internally, but software build on those libraries simply don't expose it.
This is a good point. There are people that want decisions around computer technology to be humane. They form groups that change this landscape for the better, and if its revolutionary, the rest follow suit.

I think that the Framework Laptop is a good example of redefining technology to improve the impact on our environment and create more freedom for people who want there devices more repairable. Its not perfect, as we are still living in a world of propitiatory hardware, but this project has the capability to change that landscape as well, where its needed.

My grandfather thought the 'whoosh'[1] of a steam locomotive's cylinders was wonderful, and thought the diesel and electric locomotives that replaced them were 'soulless'.

But look at the filth they created! [2] (The shafts of light show how smokey it is in there).

His hobby was travelling round the country to see old steam trains running on preserved/heritage railways. That's fine, and fans of ICE cars will probably be able to watch races, drive on private roads/racetracks etc.

That’s one of the best designed sales pitches I’ve seen for a web framework, you could use this approach to sell any idea.

Just scrolling list of small blocks of text with small/interactive screencasts/animations that communicate the idea via succinct bullet points.

Much more fluid than the usual approach of paragraphs or breaking the page up into large blocks/sections.

It’s closer to older HTML where you just have text and a scrollbar.

The gold standard didn't stop money creation.

The linkage in the banking system was to the price of gold, as fractional reserve lending slowly increased the amount of deposits in the system, the price of gold drifted up, and the amount of lending increased with it.

Then the entire system eventually broke apart (several times), because gold wasn't evenly distributed, and so the resulting rates of money creation drifted apart in different countries.

You should be asking "what exactly is the point of holding BTC on Binance"
Nope.

The point is you store your crypto on a non-custodial software wallet (Metamask) or a hardware wallet (Ledger Nano) and not on an exchange, so it cannot be 'held hostage'.

It is not your keys, not your coins if it is on an exchange which uses custodial wallets, but doesn't apply if it is on a non-custodial wallet.

I'm definitely getting worried about that. Our CTO has always said we'd move off Heroku when we got big enough, which makes sense, but now I'm afraid we're going to be doing it in a hurry when Heroku stops caring about some aspect of their service we depend on.

We're already sort of seeing that in a niche case - it used to be that credentials to access Heroku's PG databases were created with readonly permissions by default. That has been broken for some time, forcing you to connect to the PG instance and run the necessary SQL commands to provide access. Not a big deal but just another indication to me that the lights are on but no one is home.
Look, I said I was a tether skeptic, but I think it is undeniable that Tether are buying back tethers from some people. If they weren't doing that right now, we'd see a whole lot of stories like "I tried to redeem $100M of tether and they refused!" out there.

Tether undoubtedly has several large trading partners that buy and sell large volumes of coins from them. If they stopped redemptions, you can bet that everyone would soon hear about it.

Now, it's absolutely true that their crappy terms & conditions give them complete freedom to refuse redemptions from anybody at any time for any reason. And that (in my view) makes it a very dubious company to rely on. But you are completely and utterly wrong to say that "No, you can't. Not even in theory".
Why? This is just what language does - it's like a constantly evolving entropy code. Jargon emerges to concisely describe unique concepts. Hydration is a great example: it's important in the process, so it gets talked about a lot, but it's distinct from rendering, so it gets its own term.

Likewise, ingress/egress is not quite the same as read/write. It gets its own terminology because it's distinct.

> Why?

To take just one of many examples, so that you can do the same validation client side and the server side. You have to do the validation on the server because the client can't be trusted, but if you only do it on the server you have to do a full page load to validate any of the inputs, give feedback, or vary the form fields displayed.

e.g. how many times have you filled out a long and complicated form, pressed submit, waited several seconds, and then get dropped back at the same form where you have to hunt for the error message, change the requested field and try again. And heaven help you if you got multiple fields wrong, where the data from one informs the validation of another. Client-side logic can make this process much lower friction.

What do you do to manage your mental health? (60 SEC ask)
Hi,

I am a big believer in following what people do not what they say and I think there is a big issue in the mental health space where generic advice is touted for what are often very specific personal circumstances.

I am therefore trying to build up a resource where people can post how they describe their mental health and what they do to manage theirs so others can learn from real examples.

My hope is that with enough responses one day we'll be able to provide more personalised recommendations based on people's circumstances.

Right now though I'd just love to hear from the HN community as to how you manage your mental health.

It is a completely free resource for people and you can be as anonymous as you want in providing information, it can be done in less than 30 seconds.

Thank you in advance and very open to any and all feedback on the concept!

Is there a business model for reviews?

Consumers continually say they want and use them, trusting some type of collective wisdom of folks willing to take time to give a review, assuming some honesty and relevance (reviewer has same needs, experience, and use pattern as I do for the item).

Yet, like price engines before them, consumer demand alone doesn't make success (some might also say that reviews are a feature, not a product, but table that for now).

From Zagat to Angie's list, the BBB in the US, TripAdvisor, yelp, 4square, plus a zillion others (along with on-site reviews powered by Bazaarvoice and others)... So many have come and gone. Amazon reviews are gamed, unclear what drives "Google Reviews", blog reviews have faded...

Did social kill them? Maybe, but the few people who respond to a "Hey, is X any good" on any forum or group seems less helpful than these past offerings.

I've wondered about these "come and gone" tools for a while, since price engines and reviews to leverage collective knowledge were hallmarks of internet 1.0 lore, and it seems like we failed at really delivering on those hopes. Still difficult to find the lowest price on items, and still difficult to get a clear read on product quality or value... And restaurants and other service offerings are still harder.

Any thoughts on what commerce model would work for reviews to be unbiased but collective, more than just the Consumer Reports model of few experts and some surveys?
> And banks segregate assets.

That's inaccurate. The entire idea of a bank is to connect supply of and demand for money across heterogenous creditors and debtors, which includes retail depositors and commercial lenders. There isn't a "secure savings account department" and a "risky commercial loans department"; it's all on the same balance sheet.

What does protect retail depositors (to a certain limit) are schemes like FDIC. Any retail deposits not covered by that, and any commercial deposits, will receive a haircut when the bank goes under. In the EU and UK, this has happened at least twice in the last few years.
Which is why the word SEGREGATED is important.

Segregated means that the company can not touch that money except to return it to clients. That's law. So it can't be "someone else's money" by law. And the bank holding this segregated money is also complied by law.

I dislike cryptocurrency, generally, but plenty of people hold their own keys. It's rarer, now, but that's because mass consumers are generally stupid, not because the technology is flawed. If you can do the correct thing, and you choose not to (or just are ignorant enough to not do the correct thing), it's kind of your fault.

I still think we should legislate it, but let's be honest: Most people who lose, here, kind of deserve it, for not doing the bare minimum of research.
if you left crypto on an exchange, you took a risk, this is the wild wild west.

Not only is there a 0.1% fee--and so of course USDT can easily be sitting at $0.999 without it even being strange--but it will take a day or two to round-trip the money through the antiquated legacy banking systems with Tether, so you have to additionally take into account the lost opportunity cost.

Russia is weeks, perhaps days, away from consolidating the Donbas (area large than the entire UK) and have greatly reduced the NATO-trained and supported Ukrainian military's (second largest in Europe) ability to conduct offensive maneuver warfare in a time span of just a few of weeks. And that's with maybe using 20% of Russias military capacity. All according to western sources.

Let's not conflate how we feel about the situation with the reality on the ground. The sooner we're honest about whats going, the sooner we can have peace.
I'm still waiting for the actual bitcoin infrastructure or algorithm to break. It's been 10 years and a trillion dollar network.

> At times like these I'm reminded of the phrase “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe”

Sure, but it may also be a comparison between grandma's apple pie and the apple pie from the supermarket. If you never looked at the ingredient list of the latter, you're bound to be surprised at what you're getting. If grandma hand picked her apples from the back yard, you may be unhappy to learn about the pesticides used for commercially grown apples.

> You have to rely on something in life, just like in an office building you can't realistically check the structure inside-out, or if you can, how can you make sure that the individual components are actually of the material they say they are?

In that case, there are building codes as well as checks to ensure they are followed. While it is possible for someone to ignore those codes, there is also a cost for doing so if you are caught. For the most part, the software industry doesn't have building codes. If something fails, software licenses are generally written to avoid accountability. About the only constraint is the negative response of the market, but even that can be managed to some degree.

> That's just your choice of how to build your app, right? You could've avoided this by rendering templates on the server and sending static HTML to the client, keeping the business logic on the server.

No, that's a requirement on most business cases, my comment stated 'complex and dynamic web apps'. Re-rendering the whole page everytime the user checks a box or clicks a button just to replace some fields in a whole page is (a) terrible UX, (b) hard to track the state between page refresh, (c) wrong practice and (d) bad performance.

Sure, I should setup a complex and huge dependency for just one of the many problems I highlighted. What a great idea
Yeah I can still drive. In fact, I’ve had episodes while driving.

It’s not dangerous. I still know where I am, how to drive, and what’s going on. It just doesn’t feel like I’m doing it. So if I think “I need to pull over” and then I pull over, it’s as if I’ve observed myself doing that in some sort of higher abstracted state. I’ve thought the action into reality, but I had no connection to my body doing the action.

The hard part to explain is that I can still “feel” my body during these episodes. But it just feels like data being processed by my brain. I have no sense that the things I’m feeling are me, or a part of me. This is why the video game analogy sometimes works.

If you’re playing a game you’re making decisions, you’re physically controlling the actions (through a keyboard or controller). You might even have some haptic feedback that you can feel. But you have no sense of that character being you. You have no ego connection to that character, at least not in any meaningful way.

That’s what these episodes feel like. It’s like experiencing an ego death, just very quickly and without any lead up or warning.

> I don’t think this is an inherent flaw in the idea of providing trustworthy third party reviews.

I don't know, have we figured out a way to have trustworthy credit rating agencies, or trustworthy journalism of any other kind? The incentives for providing information lie in manipulating that information for profitable effects. That's why nominally informative media must be schizophrenically supported by being paired with the open manipulations we call advertising.
I mean, sure, there were "web pages being rendered on the server" back in the day.

But that was the rule, and there was no name for it. Wikipedia's SSR page used to be called "Server Side Scripting", which is kind of a misnomer, and is very generic. That would also include serving JSON from the backend... and "scripting" not only limited in scope but also non-ambiguous.

So, someone had to invent a term. The name "Server Side Rendering" is quite good actually, it describes what's actually happening rather than being some random buzzword.

(Of course, there will be people claiming "ackshually SSR is only when a Next.js-like-framework does it", but that was never agreed upon by the majority of devs)

It's not a personal attack to say that you have a definite horse that you like to speak on ("race", as nebulous and weird as that is). Above you have reframed more or less the same thing as a culture issue, which has been widely discussed and is currently popularly mitigated with education. We can see this works in practice.

What more do you want? Justifications for why people move out of their cultural frame to a different one? Perhaps they value more rights for women (the middle east is out then). Perhaps they enjoy a peaceful environment (again, the middle east is out). There are so, so many reasons someone might move away from their reference frame. Some don't apply to the middle east. Some don't apply to Asia. But they definitely apply to someone, somewhere.

I simply cannot believe you have not thought of this, but to construct this narrative you must ignore these realities for why people flee their own environment in favour of a new (much more uncertain) one.
I follow your theory, but as of the last audit that wasn't close to true.
That's definition is definitely not widely accepted, however some people seem to believe it is. So I guess it's open for debate.
Yes --- but in a more limited role.

I just wrote an Intel x86 assembly language routine to compare an IP address to a subnet mask (in modified CIDR format) and return negative if the IP is before the subnet, zero if it matches the subnet and positive if it is after the subnet in the address space.

Only about 10 asm instructions (not counting register save/restore). This dramatically simplified and speeded up the task in a higher level language of denying access to foreign scan bots.

But BTCB (Bitcoin on BSC/BEP-20) is not Bitcoin

To actually withdraw Bitcoin like this, you'd have to bridge your BTCB to WBTC on Ethereum, and from there bridge it back to BTC (using a custodial bridge, AFAIK there are no WBTC/BTC decentralised bridges)

You'd eat 2 sets of fees along the way plus gas, probably costing you 0.3% or more
