Rust doesn't have a garbage collector, meaning you have a steep learning curve around the borrow checker. Zig aims to be a C replacement, with manual memory management as well.

Nim is very close to Crystal. Some parts that might lead you to prefer Crystal however:

- Nim compiles to C code, meaning Nim is coupled to what C can do. I find compiling to C to be distasteful, C is not meant to be a compilation target. We should be getting away from C, IMO. Nim is limited to what C can achieve, and the design of the language trends towards "here's how this translates to C" as a result. Compiling to C is also an extra layer of abstraction, as now for instance with debugging you have to go through the C layer. Crystal like Rust uses LLVM

- Crystal also uses Ruby syntax, which many prefer. I have grown to dislike semantic whitespace such as how Python works, so this is a plus for me.

- Crystal has a garbage collector, period, and leans into that. Whereas Rust, Zig, and Nim want to give you complete control over memory, Crystal is more focused on being a better high-level programming language, competing with the likes of JVM/NET/Go/Ruby. This focus is likely Crystal's main edge. The only other single-executable opinionated GCed language is Go. Crystal's type system is much better than Go's. If Crystal can reduce compile times and capture some of Go's pragmatic aura, it will see more success.

Show HN: Redactle Unlimited – a Wikipedia based game
I created this game based on the original game (redactle.com). I built it to play more than one game a day (hence the name) but I've since added many features; lemmatized word matching, multiplayer, multiple languages and several small things like annotations and letter counts.
The front end is SvelteKit (static-apapter), back end is mostly node.js, go+Redis streams for multiplayer WS and it's running on k8s. Lemma dictionaries are cached in Azure blob storage.
In this case it is both. And i think people who work for BigCo have no idea how hard it is to make money outside the monopolies they work for.

I m not sure the creator of Photopea is a "founder" of anything? It's still an one-man show
All the humming and hawing about how the author of the post is taking credit for someone else's work, etc, is a good example of the problem of reading one-off things on the internet and commenting on them here without understanding the context or the voice of the author.

As a long-term reader of that blog, it is obvious to me this is a little historical anecdote, mostly tongue-in-cheek, from a particular mac-centric community to which both the author and Gruber belong to. He's not being grandiose or trying to take credit.

Sometimes a story is just a story.

This actually makes me think Electron will be a lot easier to support. Because at least you'd be able to control which version of Chromium your app ships with. If you're using Tauri, you'll need to support all the different versions of WebView that are out there.
My main gripe is documentation.

Look at this:

https://nixos.wiki/wiki/PostgreSQL

Now, the real "workflow" with nix is look at other setups, or just look at the code:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/s...

And look at the code is the only reliable way to see what exactly is supported.

My second gripe is the fact is hard to see what nix do. Today I hit this trouble:

https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/x46w98/why_new_user_...

The thing is: Nixos not tell what is doing. `verbose` is too much noise.

What I wish now is something like:

nix change nothing (if my changes somehow don't do anything, like in my issue)

nix setup users...
nix setup postgresql
One of the more defeatist comments I've seen in a while. Yes, there's no point chasing efficiency or greener generation, let's just bump off half the population.

But if murder is the only solution, you'd have to murder 10 Nigerians to save the same power consumption as an American; you'd do a lot less murder by focussing your attention.
Kind of, right? But it also makes sense. We might talk about a highly populated country having a lot of cities -- even though cities are just somewhat loosely defined pieces of the population total.

After minor abdominal surgery I found that the prescribed opiates made the pain go away to where I felt like I could do everything I normally did. So, instead of resting like I should have I would try to do things and be in serious pain when the opiates wore off. Cannabis, on the other hand, I could still feel the pain but I could put it in the back of my mind. This allowed me to be aware that I needed to rest and heal and not be completely focused on the pain. I stopped taking the opiates after the first day.
Having used Nix a bunch, the system has been hard to use and learn in exactly the same ways that messy legacy codebases I've worked with have been hard—which makes sense since Nixpkgs is an absolutely massive codebase that's evolved over the years with very distributed development. People latch onto the Nix language and the paradigm because that's the most tangible difference but, everything else held equal, Nix + Nixpkgs would be no easier to work with if everything were in Python. (And, if my limited experience is any guide, would be worse with an ad-hoc DSL pretending to be Python à la Starlark!)

This is a pattern I've seen over and over: if a project tries to do something different, the novel aspect gets blamed for issues that would not be surprising in any other context. When faced with a massive awful codebase in Java, well, sometimes legacy code can be a pain, right? It is what it is. People rarely jump to "OOP is a mistake" or "Java is completely unusable". But that's exactly what happens all the time with, say, functional programming.

Pointing to an uncommon choice as the underlying cause of a problem makes for a nice, pat story; the pervasive, diffuse problems inherent to messy legacy code do not. After all, here's a single thing that, presumably we can actually change! Nix being functional is an objective fact while people can—reasonably or not—disagree on how well-designed and well-written Nixpkgs-the-codebase is. Besides, even if we could agree, what could we do about it? We all know how much momentum legacy code has and how hard it is to make anything beyond local improvements. Being a socially convenient story doesn't mean it's a particularly strong explanation, but it does mean that people will believe it even if it isn't.

Ironically, I much prefer hardware to software myself, but during college (while studying EE) decided that it was a deadend career path and figured out a way to be software-adjacent without having to be a developer. It worked out pretty well for me so far.

The reality is that most people follow incentives, almost nobody works their actual dream job, they work the job that they have the most return for their abilities and investment. HW and SW jobs used to have a lot of overlap from an abilities perspective, but as each has become more specialized that overlap has eroded. A lot of people are choosing to go all-in on software, whether they particularly love it or not, because it is a far better environment to work in.

That's because while they are both called "Union" a European union and an American one are not the same thing!

This explains some of the difference: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/4/17/15290674/u...

And from my understanding in Europe you can pick whichever Union you like (maybe you can confirm?) While in the US the employer is locked to a single Union.

That single difference explains why they are unpopular in the US.

I approve of this, but its hardly novel. Web browsers were originally intended to view flat html documents with hyperlinks between them. The concept of a web app is itself a 'folk' repurposing of technology.

Seems like there are two ideas here.

1. A way to keep your data/parts of your business after you've been kicked off a platform. I say parts because amazon is much more than just OMS, CMS, support platform.
2. Tools to build a marketplace. Which, besides being open source, how is this idea different than https://www.sharetribe.com/?
The planes in the air are not the only release of co2 required to provide air travel.

There’s an industrial pipeline of machines to mine materials and machines to produce planes, all the travel to and from airports. The drink service carts don’t just fall from the sky or grow on trees, they too have an entire industrial pipeline required for their production. Making travel easier puts more strain on planes necessitating more parts and net new planes sooner.

The world is a miasma of statistics making up “the big picture”.

The problem is that we need not just a language like that, but a version of Nixpkgs-the-codebase designed for that language with corresponding sensibilities. And that's a much bigger obstacle than coming up with a language!
All office365 is essentially unusable in firefox. For example Outlook365 has a race condition where if you are typing in an e-mail and it pops up a suggestion, in the time before the popup appears, the keystrokes are treated globally, rather than going to the text editor, potentially executing commands and definitely leaving your e-mail a non-sensical mess.
Wouldn't it be more interesting if there was a federated way to take orders and see deals? Something like RSS for but for stores.

> What would a lifelong subscription like this mean for a corporation like Pfizer?

Honestly, very little. As an example, 120x 2mg oral estradiol, which is a common dosage prescribed to both trans women and cis (that is, non-trans) women with endocrine disorders, costs about $35/mo to insurance in my area, which isn't much of a margin. It's also fully genericized, so it's very unlikely that any one manufacturer could profit by pushing that margin up; there's just too much competition.

In fact, in the hormone space, the real scandal is vaginally administered estrogens for cisgender women. There have been massive, unjustified price increases in the last decade.
See, you are having a straw man argument.
Sounds just like what the author could expect from a discussion in a community which is not the same community they usually find themselves in ("a particular mac-centric community", whichever that refers to).

Strangers on the internet will come across your little random story if it's public, and rather than blaming first-time readers for not understanding the context nor the voice of the author, maybe the author could adjust the article to provide the context or make the voice stronger/more obvious?

Honestly, I'm fine with not understanding everything from communities I don't generally hang-around, it's bound to happen at one point or another.

In 2010 I bought an Acer 4810TG with Windows 7, I choose it for the battery, I was again at university far from home, once I have been able to run 7 Debian VM with 256MB RAM each for a network course.

It lasted 10 years upgrading hdd to ssd and incresing RAM.

But in the end I had to change PC, it couldn't run any browser, CPU was just too slow, even for Pale Moon.
I also work with basically every Amazon selling platform globally: Vendor Central (Direct PO) in the US and EU and Seller Central in the US, CA, MX, UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, TR, PL, NL, JP, AU, and SG.

The software is (generally) not the issue. The software is great. The service is great. FBA can be a game changer in many regions.

The real problem with the Amazon, from a seller/brand/manufacture perspective is support. If you get banned—if there is a hiccup, or if there is a problem of any kind—it is a nightmare (or straight up impossible) to resolve.

I don't really want to own the software. I want to talk to a human when something goes wrong. I want to talk to someone who will ban a seller infringing on my trademarks. I want to talk to someone who will give me control of my listings when someone else hijacks them.

Amazon is, for better or worse, where the customers are. I have a good product and I don't have to pay for advertising. I don't want to have to pay for advertising to get people to go somewhere else. I just want to be able to talk to a human on occasion to resolve issues. I do millions of dollars of business every year with Amazon and reaching a human—let alone a human who can actually do something—is the most frustrating part of Amazon.
> you need to pay /more/ than software jobs

The other way to do that is cut the wages of software jobs. Honestly with the glut of young developers and remote working it has started to happen already.
> Trouble is everyone knows it, especially so the Chinese who've essentially enslaved the country economically.

I think of it as a chinese mining province. The long period of growth was merely the long period of Chinese growth. And that growth was good for the country, but also terrible: the "dutch disease" of high commodity prices gutted manufacturing and other businesses.

And de-incentivised governments to really think about what the nation needed, as middle class homeowners continued to see their net worth rise, thus "what, me worry?"

It's also an unsympathetic postion from the outsider. These are multi-million dollar salaries that are making complaints about locker room amenities and what not. Complaining about having to play 3 days out of 7 also falls on deaf ears a bit. You're being paid to play a game at the most elite levels purely for entertainment purposes. Rather than complaining about playing time, how about asking "are you not entertained?" If you're too tired, sit on the bench and let someone else play.
Every once in a while I need to edit an image on macOS.

I used to open GIMP, wait on the loading screen for 3 minutes so that it rebuilt the font cache ("Looking for data files: Fonts (this may take a while)"), open the image, use Cage Transform (wait 30 seconds for it to process the image), save to my home dir, because on recent versions of macOS it does not properly handle permissions to write in Documents folder ("Could not read the contents of Documents").

Now I open GIMP, remember that Photopea exists, quit GIMP, open Photopea, drop the image, transform it (every time I'm surprised at how fast it is for a JavaScript app) and just export the image to my Downloads folder.

I'm so happy I don't have to use GIMP anymore.

That's not even necessarily the main issue - it's that the cultural norms around how information was spread pre-phone/internet have now been lost, so there's realistically no good way to get a message out to a huge number of people without access to modern communications technology. In a world where flyers or word of mouth or bill posters were the only forms of communication people naturally paid much more attention to them and their patterns of movement and interaction within the community enabled their effectiveness.
Shutting off all electronic communication access is orders-of-magnitude more limiting than, say, a twitter ban (which I've argued before barely qualifies as a restriction on free speech).

Great essay. Reminded me of this quote by the great Jacques Barzun:

"History, like a vast river, propels logs, vegetation, rafts, and debris; it is full of live and dead things, some destined for resurrection; it mingles many waters and holds in solution invisible substances stolen from distant soils. Anything may become part of it; that is why it can be an image of the continuity of mankind. And it is also why some of its freight turns up again in the social sciences: they were constructed out of the contents of history in the same way as houses in medieval Rome were made out of stones taken from the Coliseum. But the special sciences based on sorted facts cannot be mistaken for rivers flowing in time and full of persons and events. They are systems fashioned with concepts, numbers, and abstract relations. For history, the reward of eluding method is to escape abstraction."

If a bank allows someone to open up a bank account with personal details that don't really belong to them, I'd call that fraud and a failure on the banks side. "Stealing someone's identity" sounds like I could and should have been able to prevent that, rather than putting the blame on the bank who accepted false personal details in the first place.

As I said, those details, including address and more, are public in some countries. Those countries have learned to live that just being able to say my name, date of birth, address and telephone number is not enough to open a bank account, why can other "modern" countries not adjust accordingly too?

URLs Are UI (2017)
I always preferred a UI when messing with VMs. It's why I've used VirtualBox for the longest time. Part of my hesitancy on using QEMU has been how command line heavy it is where it has just enough friction that I don't want to devote too much time to it. I'll check out your suggestion!
For the first time in about 8 years an Arch update rendered my OS unbootable last week. I'd had graphics issues once or twice but this time it just hung in systemd somewhere. Still don't know what happened. Rolled all packages back about a month and that worked, but I'll need to update eventually.

I'm considering Nix but don't like the custom language. I wish Guix were. more popular and less extreme on the freedom side. Chances are I'll just do a fresh Arch install or maybe try Debian rolling.

These days I like to install almost all software and libraries by hand in my home directory. All I really want is a solid system that basically boots fresh then loads my home directory. Maybe I should do a net boot of some sort?

Any other suggestions?
As an 18 month Nix packager/user, I continue to be blown away by how powerful laziness is and how expressive the interactions between multiple overlays can be.
