> the royal 'we' as in all of humanity

Sorry for being a prick; but the royal 'we' is the exact opposite of the 'we' in all of humanity. Royal 'we' is when the speaker refers to him-or-herself with the first-person plural pronoun, as was common among sovereigns ("we the Emperor of the French"). These days most commonly seen in academic articles, where single authors refer to themselves as "we" for some reason.
I'm curious what you mean by "properly supports Windows." Are you on a version of Windows that supports WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux)?
I have a hard time viewing something that can "run out of steam" as a "fundamental law". It seems to me that the true fundamental laws - those of physics - are going full steam ahead, and the reality they describe are catching up to companies' chip designers (and marketers).
I guess their UX for a simple cron-like use-case. I remember trying to set it up and it wasn't a great experience. Just trying to see if others agree or not.

With a much better piece of software, exactly.
I have an SDR (software defined radio) running on one that is dedicated to ADS-B for the FlightRadar24 network. You can order hardware to do it, or if you have stuff lying around you can DIY it. They have pre-assembled images, too. It's pretty awesome and ends up giving you a free business plan.

Where do you put cross-user events? Like retweets or likes?
Holy cow, that seems complex!

What are the advantages of this setup over carrying a pendrive with am encrypted KeePassXC vault in it?
Congrats on launching Louis!
The freedreno driver supports some Adreno GPU's already, so adding support for this ought to be quite possible.
One of the great/terrible things that's happened to communication over my lifetime is watching shared experience fragment. When I was a child most people used to read the same newspapers, watch similar TV. (It was boring!) Nowadays we're fragmented into different pieces of the Internet, which sucks even more.

Twitter is part of that fragmentation, but it also accomplished something decent that competitors like Reddit don't: while there are individual communities, the follow interface made them somewhat porous. People can slide into conversations or get boosted by just about anyone. Making this work without local "subreddit-style moderators" was really technically remarkable, just from a spam perspective. Making moderation work to the point where a company could actually run advertising was extremely impressive.

I don't know what you're calling for exactly, but it sounds a whole lot more fragmented than what Twitter accomplished. I don't know that this will be a better outcome.
I'd much rather use Ansible to configure a fleet of identical systems (either all at once or over time) than SSH and configure by hand thanks.
I'm not sure what you think this proves, but Argo's shutdown is indicative of just how difficult driverless is. GP's comment is entirely about how Comma needs to mature beyond the hacker underdog shipping some devices to DIY tinkerers, and that's an incredibly challenging task.

If anything, your comment is proof.
The more I think about it, the more it seems to me that Twitter isn’t the proverbial “town square” but rather the “gladiator arena”. Several reasons.

I suggest thinking deeply about what you want to accomplish (use cases) and then work backwards to what needs to be build (user flows etc.)
Why is chat strategically important? What is Alphabet's strategy?

They've only ever made substantial profit from ads, YouTube (which they acquired), and possibly Workspace or Cloud. The last time I looked at their filings, they weren't transparent about which businesses are profitable.

This isn't a company that's had a coherent identity or strategy.

iMessage is important to Apple because it's an exclusive social network that only Apple devices can access.

Slack is important because it's a backbone of a business SaaS ecosystem.

But Hangouts was never going to have either of these functions.
Quantum entanglement does not allow faster-than-light communication.
Yes! Exactly the way I see it as well. A layer 1 ecosystem for thoughts outside my mind. Substack is a layer 2 that is much more polished. Thanks for signing up :)
XMPP doesn't (to my knowledge) have any good, standardized way of dealing with offline communications and catching up with messages.

SIP tried to do too much, was overly complex, XML-based and ended up doing nothing well enough to establish itself as a market/community favourite. "Nobody" outside telecoms does SIP, and I think that tells all one needs to know wrt market-penetration.

These days I'm rooting for matrix[1]. Matrix seems to solve the issues people want IM to solve, it federates, and supports bridging to other types of networks which aren't matrix-based.

It's not perfect. It may not be the final IM-solution to rule them all.

But for me at least, it's a good, working solution for a federated, decentralized platform (in the original sense, not crypto hog-wash sense) for the IM needs I have.

It might "just" be one step towards a better solution, but I'm sure the experiences people have with using and developing matrix is crucial in forming the solution-space in the right direction.

We're not going to get to a decentralized and "good enough" solution unless someone is willing to walk down this road and take the first bumps for the team.

I got my own instance, my own users, my own federated channels, serving my communities. Are you?

I've been told outright by some very wealthy people that being introverted will hurt my career, and by what I've seen around me, after a couple decades I can say that it is largely true.

I'm starting to believe that accepting this is a key experience that comes along with being an introvert.
We'll have to see.

When it was "exclusive" and indicated some degree of notability, yeah, people who couldn't get it wanted it.

Now it signifies you're willing to pay $250/year for a virtual hood ornament. A nice signal for scammers, but otherwise like listing yourself in "Who's Who".
And it may also make the blue ticks meaningless, if just anyone can pay and get them.
Parking ticket reminders work, but not for all
90% of the people who currently have them is my guess. Though the winds of social favor may shift as Twitter becomes open to more diversity of thought.
I think there's a really good point in here that you sort of touch on that is lost on a lot of new products.

I'd pay $20 one-time for ad-free Twitter even though I can just have a (free) browser extension do it. I'd pay $20 one-time to remove all suggested posts/users/etc, even though the same extension does that too. Archival access would be really interesting on something like Twitter where just about everything gets archived externally or screenshotted anyway.

But the minute any of these become recurring costs, even on the order of $1/mo, I'm out.

I feel like the search for recurring revenue has hampered a lot of company's ability to make real revenue.
you are 100% correct that ansible is a mess... congealed is a great way to describe it.
Doesn’t xonsh run correctly on windows? I used it but hated the environment due to the lack of utilities on windows (it’s just a shell, not an environment).

But this article is doing exactly that, telling introverts to act like extroverts (just mentioning some precautions). Like, they are not even recognizing the issue. While what we need instead is normalizing introversion.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Show HN: A command line tool to serve a directory with file upload support.
A open-source command line tool to serve a directory with file upload support.
When Plan9 gets posted to HN, the feelings are complex. I love you guys, I really do, but plan9 might have been passed up on by the segment of the hn audience who'd have loved it most.

Plan9 is a project that does things very differently on purpose. A lot of things don't make sense at first, like the 3 finger mouse paradigm, plumbing, mainframe mentality. What I fear is that the more people from HN are introduced to it from a standpoint of "Hey look at this novelty, it just got a new release" the more people will find it, love it as I did, but then ignoring context, completely hold the community hostage with the curse of popularity to change everything we know and love about it to make it the same OS they left for plan9.

Younger devs with terrible ideas are capable enough now to implement things themselves, and I worry that with the miniscule amount of devwork it would take to make huge waves in the plan9 community, I can only hope that people with very shitty ideas dont jump in and make a splash because it'll be hard for the community to say no.

Plan9 is very unapologetic, has lots of rough edges, and 9 front specifically can ruffle some feathers with regard to content and imagery, like the copy of Mein Kampf being in every copy of the source code, im not saying it meant something, but that was our joke, and new people hated that. It could have been a goosebumps book but it'd meant the same. We're already seeing that being tamped down by those who don't understand the spirit behind it. You'll know I'm right if the only replies to this comment will be on the inflammatory parts, not the revolutionary parts.

So like I said. It's complicated seeing it on HN. On one hand I want the world to know this technology that sadly we left behind and seem hellbent on reinventing. On the other hand, a lot of you guys suck now, and are too capable for the limited amount of forethought you have.

I guess all I'm trying to say is, treat my baby right. I'm trusting you guys to enjoy it like the rest of us did.

Also please take this as gracefully as possible, but a lot of you have the worst ideas... like the absolute worst most misinformed, heart aint even in the right place, no forethought, just terrible ideas. The rest of you are fine. I'll take my downvotes in a to-go box, as usual.
IIRC App.net was a pay version of twitter.

I loved the idea, it got a lot of attention, but it didn't pick up enough users to get going.
WSL is great but it’s basically a convenient VM. It’s no longer windows, as far as I’m concerned.
Probably because it's not looking for lightly obfuscated code, it's looking for hidden code (hidden by a unicode escape sequence).
It's also unsafe to drive around with your eyes shut, but any reasonably competent person would know not to do that.

Your argument is "software might have unsafe defaults, so you should rely on a piece of software that might have unsafe defaults".
The person I spoke to called me back and said "They've turned it all off". I wouldn't want to be working in their devops team today!
Interesting idea. However, how do you query things like "list the followers of this user"?

Edit: search also becomes difficult
Yeah, lets live in holywood movies where decades old project is replaced overnight with right solution :)
Made sense to me until you said 'containers', which I immediately read as container plants (approximately always gardened, never farmed) instead of in the runtime sense.
I mean it's pretty hard to debate the merits of systemd as a server init system when you think we should all be using come kind of containerization system :p
Your tech choices will have nearly zero impact on your success or failure. You need to figure out content moderation and monetization.
One reason is that software isn't always distributed in normal distro repositories anymore. People can't (or don't want to) deal with dependency management so they ship an entire (slightly outdated version of an) OS with their application to make deployment foolproof.

The vaultwarden install instructions assume Docker, for example: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden. If you want to install native binaries, you're going to have to git fetch/checkout/pull the latest release tag and run `cargo build --features sqlite --release` yourself. Doable in a cronjob, but it'll probably take a compile to build a system like vaultwarden on a low-power ARM core.
Yes, the things you believe in are ostensibly 1/250000000th the importance of the sum total of what everyone in the U.S. believes in.

For example, if the 'political zeitgeist' your referring to is comprised of 50 million eligible voters, and if the other 200 million are fence sitters on believe in another 'zeitgeist', then it's in fact correct for the U.S. as a country to completely ignore the 50 million. i.e. to block it from having any effect on 'actual policy'.

After all, minority rights are only guaranteed up to the 3/4 threshold, after which a constitutional convention could do anything, such as reinstating slavery, prohibition, or even abolish the existing constitution and all laws passed by Congress entirely, etc...
Using something like an RPI Zero and carrying this around would make more sense if the device had a display and could be airgrapped.
How Is Signal Profitable?
Its dataframe support (based on Apache Arrow and the Polars Rust library) looks very interesting. https://www.nushell.sh/book/dataframes.html
That's how universities with donor and alumni preference work. They let in notable people more easily and people that test well may even get a scholarship, and others can bribe to be included in the club.
Because frequently Easter eggs are frowned upon at large companies and I suppose developers may still be trying to sneak them in by obfuscation. So this linter is trying to catch those cases
Some twitter users are clearly willing to pay for whatever it is they get out of using twitter - one just paid $44 billion :)
I can't agree that "global public square don't work for humans" - but even if that were the case, it's still too late to just reverse course. As long it's possible, viable and largely desired, the market will spit out a solution to this need.
Keeping all of my passwords on a failure-prone SD card acting as a boot drive makes me nervous. I think I'd prefer a SyncThing-based solution for self-hosting a Bitwarden Vault or KeePass file... if I wasn't already a happy customer of Bitwarden's hosting solution.
What are the features that are done differently, or in other words, why would I choose Nushell over PowerShell?
Why aren't they Souper Mario Broth?
I much prefer normal systemd services to sandbox my applications but if the software you want to run isn't packaged in some normal, updateable way (like a standard repository) then Docker is definitely the way to go.
> There are many reasons to not like systemd and the creator, who incidently after leaving the GNU/Linux is now working for the same company that sought to destroy it, Microsoft.

I only learned about that a few days ago, here on HN (some thread or some old comment).

It is completely insane and gives lots of fuel to the systemd haters.

I do run both Debian (systemd) and Devuan (a Debian fork with all the systemd stuff removed). I use Devuan on my main desktop PC and I've got exactly zero problem.

That's the thing: many "sell" systemd as some mandatory machinery but it simply ain't. Ultra-light containers (like Alpine-based ones) run fine (and faster) without systemd. Desktops do run fine without systemd (I'm running Devuan on my workstation and Debian on my laptop: it's basically the same experience). For certain types of servers I can understand some see benefits in running systemd.

Neither IBM / Red Hat nor Microsoft should be those setting the terms of what is or is not an acceptable "PID 1" for Linux.

The day Linux becomes "systemd Linux" is the day I'll switch to a BSD.

I don't mind that systemd exists as long as people still have the choice to run a non-systemd Linux. The kernel should be orthogonal to systemd and there should be Linux distros packaged without systemd.

And systemd proponents shouldn't go out of their way to try to prevent non systemd Linux from existing.
>I feel like the search for recurring revenue has hampered a lot of company's ability to make real revenue.

There's a weird mess of consumers and incentives on the internet.

Users generally don't want to pay, so now they're the product. Just to get users products offer unsustainable free services and then die when they reach the breaking point or fail to get folk to pay. Users get upset when the products ask them to pay or revoke their free tier or just vanish ...

Wash rinse repeat.
His quote is exactly referring to that: but my question is, are black holes curved enough that you can have a circumference at quantum scale with a diameter above that scale? — ie, at which quantum effects would happen around but not across the singularity.
> because it conflicts with the major thing vendors want

Maybe, but that doesn't explain why there are no startups on the case, that wouldn't have this conflict of interest.
One-time fees are not very sustainable. Unless the model included essentially building an endowment the first ten years and then funding the business off of interest.
How we handled a recent phishing incident
I would agree with sibling, and expand his comment a bit. Tail calls are just the specialization of continuation passing (or of having reified continuations programmer accessible. Actually, all control flow is the application of a continuation. So while I agree that tail calls are not used as the basis for exceptions, the parent concept of continuation passing does.
Yes, it really should be called Polarshell.

So, I’m naturally introverted, always have been. But I’ve realised some time ago that learning to be better at communication with fellow human beings is a very worthwhile activity. And yes, this is something you can absolutely just learn how to do like any other skill. Just because most people seem to be born with better communication skills doesn’t mean it’s something you couldn’t or shouldn’t actively learn. I see too many fellow introverts shooting themselves in the foot by not doing this.
Why use this over PowerShell for example?
I use this simple system too, except for media. Everything else goes in a new folder inside my "2022" folder.

I tried for a few years to store things in a more hierarchical way or use tags, but it was too much mental effort to think about it every time. I also tried something similar to symlinks when google drive used to support putting files in multiple locations, and it was surprising how confusing it was to manage. Unless you apply symlinks or tags in a very consistent way, it just ends up being frustrating finding something that you think tagged or linked in one way but actually, you tagged it in another way or forgot to tag it at all.
I googled the lyric when posted because I only have it from the contextless world of Instagram reels, and I have a fetish for accuracy.

It was indeed from Jon Lajoie, but not the song you link. It looks like he did a followup track called "Everyday Normal Guy 2" which includes exactly the loop you hear (with "motherfucker" and not "guy" in the refrain) everywhere on social media right now.

That'd be like giving a billion dollars to someone who just got into heaven. They don't need it.
I'd love a powerful ARM machine that supports linux, and I don't want to use Windows with WSL either. Looking forward to further development.
Blue checkmarks will be people paying to market to you. It won't take long to block people with blue checkmarks. Before it was some verification that this was a real person/official entity. As for twitter becoming open to more "diversity of thought" I mean, I guess if you want more ads, sure?
Receive only will still receive deletes sent from the other devices. It just won’t propagate changes from the “receive only” device to other devices.
It would be interesting to know why Mark didn't choose this option because Alphabet had already structured their company exaclty like this, separating Google from Other Bets, and so there was a clear precedent from a peer. Did Mark ever explain why he thought this was the wrong path for the company?
