Sorry, but you're making the same logical error of assuming that A implies B means B implies A. Let me help you understand:

> It's not that A implies B. It's that B [did you mean A?] is contained within B.

"A implies B" and "A is contained within B" are equivalent statements. For example, if you are Catholic, you are a Christian. Being Catholic implies being Christian. Catholicism is contained within Christianity. However, you can't go the other way. Being a Christian doesn't imply that you are a Catholic.

Regarding alcohol consumption, we talk about about consumption, compared to beer consumption, because we know that alcohol consumption has the same general risk profile whether or not you're drinking beer, wine, or spirits. The important part is that alcohol has been shown to have negative effects. Because alcohol has been shown to have negative effects, we can extrapolate that beer has the negative effects associated with alcohol, However, if only beer had been shown to have negative effects, we couldn't automatically assume alcohol was the cause because there is a lot of other stuff in beer that distinguishes it from wine and spirits.

Now the same thing applies to smoking. Smoking is known to produce over 9000 chemical compounds, 70 of which are known to cause cancer. At least part of the causal link to cancer is specifically tied to the compounds from combustion specific to smoking. Therefore, we can't automatically assume that nicotine is harmful just because its present in smoke and we know smoke to cause cancer.

Here is an overview from Cancer Research UK: https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/causes-of-canc...

> Nicotine is the chemical that makes cigarettes addictive. But it is not responsible for the harmful effects of smoking. Nicotine does not cause cancer, and people have used nicotine replacement therapy safely for many years. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is safe enough to be prescribed by doctors.

So, in short, just because smoking is known to cause cancer, doesn't mean you can assume that nicotine would be responsible for the same number of deaths if you replaced smoking with some other form of nicotine consumption.
There's an ongoing class action lawsuit that "Tesla broke US law by not providing 60-day notice before mass layoff", and according to the article, Tesla will likely have to pay back-pay.

I think the argument is that just because the internet let's you go anywhere, most social media ends up segregating culture into silos, and BBSs ended up being cultural silos themselves.

Anyway, my experience directly led from bbses to AOL to internet ,,(livejournal, then myspace, then Facebook, fark.com, slashdot, reddit)

Ultimately, few people ever experience the same "internet" over a long enough timeline.

So Instagram, Twitter, hackernews are your new bbses
Can you edit that to be coherent? "You", "they", and the target of "are either..." seem out of sync.
It stretches credulity that they could get anything near 4.5 billion unique visitors when their most popular site only gets 0.4 billion [0]. But even if that were the case, 4.5 billion is still less than Google and Facebook combined. (Of course it's not valid to stack Google and Facebook's visitors as disjointly unique, but the same is true of Pornhub and its properties.)

Regardless, you're totally right that their numbers are relatively impressive and indeed "Google-scale" if we interpret that as within an order of magnitude. If the metric they used was "unique visitors per employee," then even with official source numbers they would be around 10x as successful as Google!!

If you're interested in Roslyn inspired compiler writing, Immo Landwerth who works on as a Program Manager on .NET made a Youtube series about writing a compiler, and my understanding from the part I watched is his work is heavily inspired by Roslyn.

It annoys me that Apple Maps enroute will let me "see gas stations" nearby but can't do a simple "find the closest McDonalds to my current route" - I have no desire to turn around and back track even if that's currently the closest one, I'd rather have it say "in fifteen minutes there is one a mile from the freeway".
Nope: fags are ciggies and that's that.

I'm a Brit and you are probably a Yank - we both know exactly what is going on.

First, we need to agree that "A great product will speak itself" is total BS.

But, in order to outpace millions of other apps in long run, we need to perform the following

1) ASO App store - So that our apps are searchable with the right keywords

2) Localization App store - So that our app can reach more users

3) A/B testing App store - So that we will find out what is the most effective graphics asset

4) Paid advertising - So that you will get real users

5) ... (other marketing activities)

As we can see, all the above activities require a substantial amount of money (We need to hire people with the right skill to complete the task or pay our ads network)

I think knowing how to spend the marketing money the right way, is the key to success in Google Play/ Apple App Store.

I am still learning the hard way, though.
I believe there used to be one, but it got knocked down to build the new Neuroscience / Chem-H building on campus drive? I thought they put auxiliary backup power system in as part of the hospital expansion, but it might only cover the hospital?
Why not just use tripcodes like the others?
Really good question. Honestly, it was word of mouth and referrals. I had a successful career as a software developer and product manager for various startups and large companies in the Austin area. Eventually I had colleagues that went off to leadership positions at other companies. Jacqueline was similar but on the sales side.

The biggest advantage we had in getting started was trust. Also in the beginning, we didn't quite start out with our grand vision. We picked up PM work and projects and miscellaneous things here and there, but slowly that expanded our network of people who previously worked with us. We asked all these early customers for introductions to other teams. Overall it took us 3 years.

Is there something you could do to generate a working relationship with your prospects that leads to trust?
I would love to see Python in browsers more than Javascript. But since this works through WASM, I'd probably stick with Rust in that case.

If I'm going to be bound by the limitations of how immature WebAssembly is right now, I'd at least use its more mature ecosystem for development, which is Rust. And actually, I recently began doing so in my free time with a framework named Yew[1].

I know that it's unrealistic to expect Python to be a first-class citizen in browsers as JS is, but at some point we'll grow tired of reading "X language is now available for browsers" when it's more like "X can do WASM now".

edit: Anyway, I don't want to come off as under-appreciative of PyScript. I'm sure a lot of people will love it and make it grow a lot. I'd probably give it a try someday too. Props to the developers!

Great insight.

I wonder if the LinkedIn scraping case would apply to someone crawling Google search results.
So does eating a meal. Digestion is quite the active process.
Recently had an OpenBSD VM experience disk corruption so badly it rendered itself unbootable (and the UFS fsck made the problem worse). The corruption happened as a result of an improper shutdown of the hypervisor due to HW failure. (All the Windows and Linux VMs recovered gracefully.) The only fix was to reinstall the entire base OS from the DVD (the rest of the data was still on the disk; the system was simply unbootable). I can't say I've ever had Linux become unbootable due to ext{2,3,4} corruption in probably 20 years. With OBSD I wouldn't even think about filing a bug report for something like this because I don't have desire to get flamed on mailing lists. My critique here is the standard Linux filesystems like ext4 have reached or exceeded NTFS levels of maturity and stability while I cannot say the same about the BSDs. (Though you can enjoy the same experience with XFS unless things have changed...)

Hello Josep ! (Kagi founder here)

For a bit of historic accuracy if it ever matters for future readers:

Kagi was founded in 2019 and we have operated for years in private beta with thousands of users before public beta release this June.

Goggles were not inspired by Kagi”s lenses and I can confirm seeing the whitepaper before we got the lens feature out last year.

Kagi”s Lenses were inspired by Blekko’s “slashtags” which is probably the original “prior art” for this kind of feature.

Looks like we arrived to similar idea, but different execution. Kagi”s Lens feature is osimple to create filter for the web, that anyone can make with a few clicks plus a bunch of powerful built-in lenses like “noncommercial” or “discussions” search.
I'm glad to see this book get the attention it deserves.
> I don't think Airplane needs to be unique in this regard. Other low-code platforms could allow user-friendly drag-and-drop interactions while still having underlying code-based representations that allow users to get the best of both worlds. I think more no-code/low-code platforms will be built in the future with this in mind.

I personally don't feel like this is the future. It's similar to storing a Word document's XML in source code. The way the visual editing and thinking works doesn't map to the text-based storage format, which then makes source code control little more than backup since it becomes difficult to tell what actually changed. Maybe this doesn't apply to Airplane though, so what I'm saying is more general for visual tools and programming languages.

There's no reason why visual tools and programming languages can't have visual comparison tools. Text is not the end all be all for things that can be compared.

I had a similar experience to you. You must come to the understanding that you will never smoke a cigarette again. You must accept that. You can't quit without that being true (modulo the social cigarette here and there).

And yea, I remember sleeping for 20 hours on day two.
Is it really hard to think for a few minutes and you could get a name from a word like "observe" instead?
I’d love to know more about that. Isn’t running Adobe CC on AWS prohibitively expensive? You need a decent video card and at the very least 8GB of RAM.

Couldn’t you buy a laptop with what they’d charge you for a day of work? A quick simulation here is showing me US$ 140/h for a 4 core 16GB of Ram machine, no mention of video card.
You are right Handel’s was cheaper per scoop
While I love the tech behind this (as well as the good article and fun demo video), I'm very skeptical that this will be a good approach for most web apps. I hope it doesn't turn into Python programmers suddenly pulling in 7MB of WASM code/data just to render their websites (along with a 5s startup time), adding yet another layer of complexity and virtualization between their code and the browser. I think the interest in the tool is overall a good thing, but I think we need to be very careful about what kinds of projects we use this for.
It’s pretty similar buying indoor gardening equipment.
I bought a hemp t-shirt in the early 1980s. I wore it up to the early noughties. Hemp clothing outlasts cotton and most synthetics in my experience. So is it better? Depends.
One catch is that ISPs rolling out VDSL, such as CenturyLink, are often using pair bonding. So despite a typical performance limit of 40/10, CL offers 80/20 in VDSL markets by taking advantage of the fact that homes are typically wired for two lines.

For the record my Burmese cats are incredibly vocal; they normally mouth off like crazy before jumping up on my lap - especially when I'm in meetings. Love them! :)

And babies? That was during lockdowns when my then wife was looking after the young one (we took turns; obviously this applies to when I was in my meetings). Didn't stop the 2-3y child from being very noisy at times.

Regardless of the source, Broadcast does an amazing job of filtering and cleaning it up. Recipients could not hear any of the background commotion.
If you got the best names in the business together, gave them billions of dollars, and told them to design a power grid to fail and cause forest fires, they'd fall embarrassingly short of whatever it is PG&E has created.

Phones can't run without the battery because their peak power usage can exceed what the phone chargers provide. So the battery is used to cover these micro power spikes.
I was looking at PyScript and I was disappointed when I saw this code.

https://pyscript.net/examples/d3.html

The python version is much much slower loading at least on my browser. I counted 7 seconds to having it render the graph.

I kinda wish they spent the time thinking about Dom manipulation from a pythonic point of view rather than just providing the python to js interface and calling it a day.
I think one of, if not the, fundamental difference(s) between BBSes and other services such as Compuserve, Prodigy, AOL (all of which I got a chance to experience in my youth), and the Internet as we know it now, is that BBSes each very much had their own character, communities, and so on, exactly as you outlined. They were islands or oases with very little overlap.

The early Internet for some of us, where a lot of that character overlapped into online communities that were highly geek-oriented due to our early adoption, held a lot of that individual character that we often look back on with nostalgia and an awe of charm. This, perhaps, was the more BBS-like period of time, which can only survive now in closed communities, which are very much unInternety of today, and even frowned upon by some of us geeks to a degree. But at the same time, that individual character is tough to maintain without the artificial exclusivity brought about by digitally gated communities. We did not need that in the BBS are nor the early public Internet days because the exclusively was afforded by the technical know-how required along with the requisite hardware (a modem or early broadband access through work, universities, or other arrangements).

The Eternal September of widely-available public access to the Internet took all of that away, and while it's not all bad, that small-level community charm is all but impossible to come by now.
Went straight for that PHP example and "coming soon"
With that attitude you will. Honestly though you need to find a communication pattern that works for you and your teammates. In most situations if you communicate your needs clearly you won't get much pushback. For instance closing your instant message and email except for periodic checkins and letting people know why might improve the situation.
If that was the author's point, then they totally failed to convey it. The title is "users prefer less straightforward ux", and the transition point in the article is the author coming to the startling conclusion that users like a "puzzle".

This is their current understanding of what happened:

> So, despite it taking objectively longer for users to get their answers, they loved it.

What they completely fail to understand is that it doesn't take longer for users to get their answers. The map is faster, objectively faster, at solving the problem that the user actually has. The designer here missed that point.
In the context of the current thread, I'd say that's fair. If you're talking urban infrastructure, my understanding is that things are good until the existing (fairly large) conduits fill up, and then everything stops until someone digs up the street for blocks and blocks.

Do you happen to know, for these long conduits is it typical to do a solid run or to put access panels at regular intervals? If you're running a new cable are you actually trying to run a 1km snake through a pipe, a 100m snake 10 times, 50m x20, or something in between?.

I've never seen anyone run a 1km cable, but I've seen buildings be rewired with tens of kilometers of new cables a couple times.
I think this is not the worst situation. Downloading executable code is very rare in normal use cases and is extremely common and powerful for malware. For the common user, its better to just turn this off. And for the power user, they are free to sideload apps that can do whatever they want.
It’s probably the best <$50 purchase I have spent. It has made a noticeable improvement to my health with less than 10 minutes invested per day. I would think of it as a supplementary regimen that will improve a core part of your fitness (vascular health), but not a substitute for high intensity exercise.
why was this flagged? come on, someone is trying to mess with me.
The irony is not lost on my that at the same time on HN Homepage JUUL is being banned and benefits of THC Carts is being discussed. Exciting, and rather confusing times.
> Non google browsers didn't only disable it, they removed it completely.

They set the toggle to false and deactivated any of the options to turn it back on. That's very different from removing a feature (or maintaining a legacy feature).

The only code they changed was UX-related and a single default.
Thanks! Make that 4.
An alternative, which doesn't require insane loading times, is to use any of the many great Python libraries that allow you to write web apps in Python, which get converted to JS web apps.

For example, I'm one of developers of Gradio [0], which lets you write your web app in Python, which gets rendered using Svelte-based components:

A lot of people seem very irrationally angry at OpenBSD. Not sure why.

My experience is limited, but I really liked it. Didn't end up sticking with it for very familiar reasons - lack of http3, third party shitware that it's sometimes convenient to have for work, hardware support. But as a pure OS I thought it was miles above linux. Things fit together so well. And the docs! First time I'd ever read man pages so good that I took notes.

In an alternate reality, where Linux was an obscure OS and OpenBSD got all the love from third party vendors, driver writers, etc - the world would be a better place.
PHP forum software getting hacked used to be very common occurrence. Not so sure about those but I remember a vbulitin one being exploited.

I respect the attempt to accurately create a report on vape cartridges, however I'd like to note a couple important inaccuracies. My source for this is myself -- I worked in the cannabis industry for about 4 years (worked in California for 2 years, then in Massachussetts for 2 years - up until about a year ago).

The first inaccuracy I noted was the $ amount per gram extract and the 10x markup remark (they REALLY don't make sense, where do you get these numbers?). Also related, in most states, a company would actually lose money if they were to process their flower for vape cartridges. Vape cartridges are often only worth the investment because the byproducts of plant trimming and packaging aren't sellable otherwise.

The second inaccuracy is in regards to cartridge filling; forgive me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you were talking directly to the people marketing the vape-cartridge filling machines? The reason I say this is because it's very difficult to machine-fill extract in carts due to how highly variable the viscosity can be from batch to batch (trim from different strains is enough to create the inconsistent viscosity). This makes it incredibly difficult to fill without the injectors getting clogged; a manual employee process is often needed. Personally, it sounds a lot like someone was trying to get some free advertising from you.

Outside of that, there were some minor issues or discrepencies, but I won't harp on them as the article does seem to make an honest effort at giving an unbiased report.
I strongly agree with this comment in general.

One small nitpick: Twitter says there will not be a login wall for reading Notes[1]. "Additionally, Notes will have unique URLs that people can navigate to from outside of the Twitter platform, whether or not they are logged in to Twitter, and even if they do not have a Twitter account."

So that's nice and somewhat unexpected. However, I don't see any signs of an RSS feed, which is table stakes if you care about interoperability at all.

It was claimed that it obviously didn't have the same structural issues as Terra/Luna. That is in no way

Does the current setup with magicsock mean that tailssh behaves similar to MoSH (in dealing with resuming a session, specifically)?
It seems that state level governments should be providing the setup needed to run a county. These small places have no hope of operating a government software stack on their own.
I wouldn't describe a map as a dark pattern. They're definitely approaching it as though it's a dark pattern (it's a "puzzle"!), but the second design actually respects my time much better than the first. The author is completely wrong that it takes longer to use the second design than the first.
What a great interview; pretty impressive how open they've been with something that is still so early on. As a user who has been waiting for realistic VR for 25+ years, I'm thankful to Meta for paving the road and doing the hard research that is required to advance the space.
Problem is if you don't keep on top of updates, your server very quickly goes from well secured to a low effort target. There was one instance I remember where an exploit for router software was found and published at the same time the patch came out so routers were being exploited within hours, before their users even had time to update them.
The way you phrase that makes it sound like you're implying there isn't an overwhelming dominance in terms of 'boring languages' and tutorials/content/books/training material. HN presumably doesn't upvote Java book #10^6 unless it is quite unique otherwise.
Agree with your complexity vs effort graphs but that is exactly where no-code tools have worked well for me. Example: Our CRM has a very complex data model and Salesforce UI is hard to use. With a no code tool, I can wire up a simple UI and use their connector to populate the fields and allow folks to make changes in a much simpler / somewhat automated way. This saves us a few hours per week and it took me 3-5 hours to build. I don't really need VCS, code reviews etc. here. If I ever had a bunch of related use cases like this, I would then want to invest in a yes-code solution to solve the combined set of use cases.
I don’t use a personal computer for anything outside of work. I’m only accessing my personal files either on my iPad or iPhone. I have a cellular iPad.
