Definitely not. The US was highly censored when it comes to language until the 1990s. [1] We improved considerably, including in (and thanks to) not censoring the WWW when it exploded onto the scene in the 1990s. It can be done again, as there will be a massive cultural backlash against the hyper over-sensitive woke era. The pendulum always swings back aggressively. The new rebels are, once again, going to be those that are intellectually free, not self-censoring and not over-sensitive. The US is becoming primed for a new era of shock, and young people will eat it up when it happens, to rebel against the hyper sensitive status quo.

I think one of the biggest issues now is for peopling learning is if you just search “get started with web development”, the very first result says “Pick up a Frontend Framework.”

If you are looking to introduce types into an untyped codebase, as this project talks about, then you probably don't have a lot of interfaces defined, and if you do have things in your untyped codebase that are loosely analogous to interfaces from a decoupling standpoint (such as facades and factories) then this approach would advocate those are sensible areas to focus your initial typing efforts.

I tried to figure this out a few years ago, but I remain noob. I found stuff like this:

I'd like to use my phone's camera. I once read that cameras now have built-in UV filters. Because voyeurs were taking "naked" pictures at the beach. But I couldn't figure out if I could cannibalize one of my old phones, turning it into a UV camera.

All good.

What I (and seemingly many other commenters) take issue with is the tone of the piece. That the OP has been disappointed, that they know better than Feedly management about what features to include and how to market them, that they are owed some sort of a user experience.

I suppose the OP is offering this post as guidance and explanation for Feedly management but I can’t imagine that this moves the needle.
> not a property of open source, which has nothing to say on how projects are run

If open source does not require that a project accept external contributions, then Hickey is right to say that you are not entitled to contribute just by virtue of being open source.

You're right that this is a more to do with the project in question than whether it's open source, but open source does compel projects to do other things. So it is not weird for Rich to clarify for users of his open source project that its being open source doesn't compel that project to accept external contributions, in the way that being open source compels them to distribute the software.

I think I'm going to start reporting our bug resolution counts by text editor.
While I agree that Front End "engineering" isn't as complex as other fields, calling it "shameful" is a bit much.

There is a huge requirement out of web apps today that SPAs are more and more required than your simple html + css blog posts.

Posts like these is where I feel the age of HN, that are becoming bitter about fields that were once very simple, ending up complex to suit the needs of the times.

Everywhere I look around, people on HN feel like we're still in the age of blog posts and form submissions, when in reality, there are people trying to port applications like Photoshop towards the web.

If Photoshop was available on the web, wouldn't you think that the Front End required an honest amount of "engineering"

And it doesn't even have to be a front-end heavy application like photoshop - it could just be a simple chat application that needs to be on the forefront of the site while you can still browse.

You can use whatever framework you'd like to solve your "bloat" issue, but the problem is, especially for startups, you're not going to get anywhere near the hiring pool, nor or you going to have an ease of choice for your native platform.

This is what makes React so strong right now.

I wished you had addressed this, instead of just deriding the entire front end community.

Is there any reason that you think being aware of the pattern is enough to solve it, or feel no consequences from it? I think people are aware of the pattern (it's not hard to notice) but that doesn't solve the issues it creates.
Choosing any front end choice is a big decision.

But you're not going to get anywhere near the hiring pool nor are you going to have an ease of choice in native platforms.

React is easily the best decision a startup could make right now.

I still haven't seen an explanation of why more people at the same time is better than having them spread out over multiple generations. Same number of "Einsteins" (though I don't subscribe to that reasoning), just not at the same time.

My guess is that a person who subscribes to the entry level of a product is more likely to be upsold to something else than a free user is going to even think about paying.

I think this is the crucial thing. If you offer a service with what you might call a "livable" or "comfortable" free tier, it will end up used as heavily as you allow by people who will cost you resources indefinitely, but who are far more likely to switch to another free service than to ever pay you a cent. For instance, as terrible as this blogger claims to have found Feedly, he used it for nearly a decade!

Skip the temptation to try to eke out a little money from the free tier (because you probably won't) and think of it strictly as a trial option. Either give a time-limited free trial of the service or a heavily-limited version of the service that shows how it works, but that absolutely nobody would want to use at that level forever.

(And in that latter case, then you'll still find one or two users who are willing to subsist on your free tier, whether that's a 3-feed RSS reader or whatever. Shrug and reflect that those weirdos aren't costing you much.)

No, it is not - Nim's compiler backend is extremely complex and full of cruft. I've been around Nim for 7+ years now and there's a reason the compiler was hard forked.

Nim's compiler is definitely not speedy, and this is why so much effort has been spent on incremental compilation, which tmk, still isn't working - https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/19757.
Keep in mind that unless you're doing something like transcoding for a Plex server, you don't really need much in the way of CPU for a home NAS.

I have a Synology DS1618+ that uses the Intel Atom C3538, and run a few other services on it (AdGuard/Sonarr/Radarr/Sabnzbd etc). Just looked at the performance history, and CPU utilization seems to sit around 5-10% with a few spikes to 40-50%.

Might be useful to navigate an unknown codebase. If you know the codebase already, you should know what forms the core that everything else depends upon.

I'm sorry for my bad English, it became worse, when I learned German last year :) My teammates are very kind and they are supportive. But I'm the only Front-end dev in my small team.

But I chosen to not ask often questions to hide my incompetency :) Here I understood that it was clearly a mistake. I have to be more transparent, especially now, at the beginning of my carrier.

Most of the RSS apps I've ever used have integration too. It's a lovely service.

It already is! I've swapped old i7-3820 @ 4.3GHz for E5-2697v2 few months ago. Bought another 32Gigs of RAM, and now I already have PCIe 3 (long overdue). I've also tried to overclock it via BCLK (100-110MHz) and gained ~300MHz. It happily compiles and runs windows in KVM with no problem (GPU over PCIe passthrough, and looking-glass yay!). Overall experience seems a lot smoother than i7, probably due to 30MB L3 and a lot more cores.

Have you considered water cooling? The heat is, of course, still going to get dissipated, but the noise should become much less of an issue. As a bonus, idle temps should drop close to room temperature.

I don't like the idea of maintaining an open loop myself (changing the liquid every 6-12 months), but there are also half-measure options like all-in-one (AIO) coolers. Most of them aren't serviceable (can't refill them), but they should still last for five years or so. That mostly for CPUs, though, AIO GPUs are somewhat rare (but they do exist!).

Finally the author of this post made the vital mistake of having expectations of other people, this is the prime mistake most people make and leads to their unhappiness.

Brilliant solution, terrible name.

Took me a while to get it — child processes belong in nurseries. Bad abstraction, because the key here is processes. Lots of thing haves child nodes.

And what happens in nurseries? Growing? Maybe they were thinking watching — babysitting and it’s a cultural terminology difference.

But it would be just as silly to call a thread monitor/manager a babysitter as a nursery.

Like I said, it’s a great concept and a valuable abstraction, but I fear it will need a better name to take off.
No you're missing the point.

What's easily the better decision for a startup that has to deal with mobile and native platforms?

I seriously don't know what you people are building that you think low/no js is viable.

Collab tools like Trello Asana need high js

Chat applications need high js

Drafting applications like FanDuel, DraftKings, Sleeper need high js

Music apps like Spotify or Soundcloud need high js

Financial apps like Coinbase or Robinhood need high js

Seriously, what are you people building that you think low/no js is okay.

Gresham’s law at work. If a company is shedding half its workstations due to upgrades, the stable and reliable ones used by non-smokers are not going out first.
To illustrate your last point, this[1] is a Great Blue Heron photo taken at 280mm focal length, the heron was about 56m away. This[2] is the same bird, from the same location, taken at 840mm focal length (zoomed in all the way, using the 200-600mm lens with a 1.4x teleconverter). And after a close crop, this[3] is a pretty decent photo of the heron. Somewhat distracting background and some branches in front, but I prefer not to edit everything out like some people do because I want to convey a sense of what the environment is like.

Later on the same walk, a Grey Catbird landed right in front of me. Fully zoomed in to 840mm I couldn't even get a good portrait shot showing the head and shoulders, just the head. So I zoomed out and got this[4], which I could easily crop for a good portrait. No need to back up and risk scaring the bird.

Money is one obstacle to a big prime lens (the Sony 600mm f/4 lens is $14,000!), but another obstacle is weight and bulk. I wouldn't want to give up having a zoom lens ready on a camera, to allow for otherwise impossible compositions. So I know I'd end up carrying two cameras, one with a 600mm behemoth and the other with the 200-600mm zoom, and my shoulders would hurt. And they'd be bulky and getting in my way, etc.

Primes are nice, but they're not perfect for every situation, and gatekeeping photographers for not having primes is stupid.

To follow this. Many natural hot springs that are open to the public have a straight up no sunscreen allowed rule. 3 hours into the high desert with no sunscreen and that is how it should be.
Comparing system idle across large generations is somewhat tricky, but we can pull some ballpark comparisons.

A ~2013 workstation Xeon has a system idle of ~75W (https://www.anandtech.com/show/7852/intel-xeon-e52697-v2-and...). This should be similar to the HP system from the start of the linked article.

Modern system idles sit in the ~50W range (https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i9-12900k-alde...). Yeah, I know the components aren't matched... but that's what you get hunting for data.

25W isn't nothing, but it's not gigantic either.

It's hard to get precise figures about the embodied energy of consumer electronics, but we have a range of 2000-6000MJ (https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Embodied_energy). At 2000MJ, the payoff time for 25W of idle saving is quite large - on the order of 900 days. That's a lot of time to play with to try to design a hardware refresh approach to minimize total energy expenditure over your lifespan.

And obviously from a $$$ standpoint, even taking some of the higher energy costs (~50cents/kWH), the cost delta over an entire year is pretty modest - $110 over a year. Once again, not insignificant, but given the discount factors involved (you can possibly get a $400 dollar used machine instead of a $1000 new), still quite possibly worth while.

Obviously all of these are modified by what your actual system loading is, what your hardware refresh cycles look like, and local cost of electricity.
