The industry, as a whole doesn't even want to make the jump to High PPI Monitor. The PC gaming market doesn't want a 4K Monitor ( yet ) because most of their games cant even run at 4K in half decent settings. So you end up with practically one company buying a specific slot in production line for High PPI Display.

When I go on vacation, I bring my Android / Termux equipped phone to have access to cloud VMs I manage in case of an emergency. I verify my .ssh/config is in order before I leave.

It would be akin to purchasing a cd-rom and having to pay a subscription to get it to go from 1x to 24x.

There is clearly a separate set of rules for physical goods vs purely software. that expectation hasn't changed just because vehicle manufacturers have started using more software in their vehicles.

People understand why GPS needs a subscription, there's no reason for physical performance to need a subscription except purely for segmentation and profits.

It will eventually become illegal to do.

While it doesn't directly explore it, it is mentioned in Ubik:

“The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”
He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”
“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”
In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.
“You discover I’m right,” the door said. It sounded smug.
From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt’s money-gulping door.
“I’ll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out.
Joe Chip said, “I’ve never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live through it.”

Computers and what we're doing with them have come way farther than it was ever dreamt of or as we could have ever expected. At this point, innovation is seldom about the technology anymore, but about an opportunity for doing business. Maybe time to lean back and to reconsolidate. Maybe also time to reconsider for a moment. Because, on the way, we may also have lost a few things that may be worth picking up. Compare Bret Victor. (Could we still pick up these threads?)
Unfortunately, I don’t think that analogy is apt. It would be more akin to buying a MacBook and then needing to pay apple a subscription to speed up your M1 chip and improve battery life. The reason this feels bad is that I’ve already paid for the hardware.

With the IntelliJ analogy, we never paid for the original software and purchasing additional features is reasonable.

Which is still strongly preferable to getting locked out of everything because Google Authenticator refuses to participate in device backups. Lucky for me I found out about that well before I moved to "2FA wherever possible", but I still had to send some vendors scans of my driver's license to get back into my accounts with them.

Maybe they've fixed that since then, but I don't care. I'd rather risk a theoretical flaw in Authy's E2EE than risk getting screwed again, and by now much more thoroughly, by the flaw I know about in Google Authenticator.

It sounds like you’re throwing hands up and stating that no change is possible.

Land records are by definition ledgers. A distributed ledger is also a ledger. Does it protect you from a physical harm? Of course not.

Weak institutions are a problem, but technolgy can be used to strengthen them. If you can make facts more available and easier to access, perhaps you can push disputes to local magistrates and improve access to justice.
The difference is that when a “normal landlord” raises their rents to make it unaffordable, you can find a few friends, rent a UHaul and move somewhere else for a couple of hundred dollars or worse case, you can move in relatives, with friends, or even an extended stay and put your stuff in storage [1].

Moving your mobile home can cost between $3K and $15k and even that presupposes that your mobile home is in some type of shape to move without repairs (https://www.moving.com/tips/moving-mobile-home-expect-pay/)

I remember learning about firsthand and secondary sources. Wikipedia is not a primary encyclopedia, its a secondary source.

Just like journalism is full of individuals paid off or paid to say (or not) something (sometimes blantantly untrue), wikipedia has plenty of inaccurate or false information.

So, it used to be I would use wikipedia as a type of third hand source - find information on a topic, then dig through it's references, then list Wikipedia as a source that I had used, but never quote Wikipedia.

The problem being there are few encyclopedic sources on the internet to begin with, so when the articles start sourcing the article aggregator, then the quality is bound to go down the tubes as well.
I bet this gets hammered by the EU courts.
I find it interesting they didn't block you. Also, would this be affected by the latest changes at Twitter?
Did you read the article? It says right at the beginning that only one domain was ever registered, and it's been inacite for over thirty years.

This.

We need to learn that corporations care even less about the environment than they care about remote work. Invoking the environment to gain their support of remote work is just misunderstanding their priorities. The game is to make remote work attractive to them.

You think Elon Musk wants to hear your spiel about the environment? Or does he want you to get back into your office and work a 16 hour day?

If we want to get corporate america on the side of remote work, then we need to do it with dollars and cents. Not "indirect savings", not "improved morale", but concrete examples of how remote work is increasing their profit. (Even better, would be if it could increase their revenue as well. That would be a slam dunk.) We almost got there with the idea of lowering rent costs after the pandemic, but now it just seems that the idea of getting rid of office space in favor of remote work is getting a lot of push back. Maybe even backlash would be a better term.

I lost my work Gmail account several years ago due to this and vowed never to go back to Google.

It was a slow decay, though, where over the course of a few months I just became less and less able to log in. (Unfortunately when I could log in, I couldn't do anything to change my recovery phone number to one I actually had access to because that triggered another verification round that I could not pass because I didn't have access to the old phone number.)

The best advice I can offer is to try find an old device that you once logged in from and you haven't upgraded or cleared cookies or anything. Then try to go back to the same country, city and ISP you used where it worked. Do not log in from public wifi! Make sure all your OS-level language, time zone and region settings are the exact same as they were last time you were successful too. If you are lucky you may be able to get in without a phone number and back up your data somewhere else.

Show HN: Small Animated Flexblox Glossary
Hello everybody!

Super Flexbox is a small-animated glossary of the CSS-Flexbox layout method, inspired by "you know which game" and mostly by my personal need of learning more about CSS Layouts.

The project started as a series of small experiments on codepen,https://codepen.io/cxrlosfx/pen/vYjOeXv. I wanted to learn more about layout possibilities the flexbox properties had to offer, suddenly it became a full HTML, CSS, JS project.

Two weeks was my time limit to finish this small glossary with some functionality, I took some days off from work, and at the time I'm writing this I'm on the third week, close to 30hrs.

About me.
I studied architecture, and I've been working in different branches of construction since the early 2000s, HTML and CSS was something I liked, in my university years I used a little bit of Macromedia Flash and most recently I use Wordpress for my personal website, but I never had that thinking ability to develop something new, most of it was copy and paste code.

I'm married with kids and an eight to five job, I had just 4 hrs per week, more or less, to learn something to code, I took the CS50x course, and one Zero To Mastery Course on JS, and this is a small project to check my learning process.

I've been reading HN since the late 2020, I understand just probably 5% of the submissions, and that number might be high, most of the time I found myself scratching my head, but I learn every day a little bit more about technology and what people involved in technology are doing. That is the reason I wanted to post my work here.

I know this project can't be compared to the amazing things you guys are doing, but I it's for sure a lot better than what I could do three years ago.

I hope you find superflexbox.com useful.

My understanding from listening to watch people is that old lubricants tended to degrade over years which meant that watches back then needed to be serviced every 5-10 years regardless of use. Modern chemistry means they're much more stable, so a watch can last indefinitely on the shelf, but will still have tiny amounts of wear while running (thus hard-on-hard bearing surfaces - jewels - are used to extend the life). I find it a bit ironic that these advances were made after mechanical watches have become close to deprecated for actual timekeeping duty.

There is a significant chance that Northern Ireland will hold the referendum on independence that they are entitled to (part of the Good Friday agreement) at some point in the not too distant future. And if they do, there is a significant chance they will vote for independence or joining the south.

If that happens, what happens to the UK? Does it just become "The United Kingdom of Great Britain", dropping "and Northern Ireland". Or do we stop using "The United Kingdom" as it sort of ceases to exist in its own right and revert to just "Great Britain"?

This is a debate the UK government will want to avoid at all costs. I'm amazed they are even considering talking about the ".gb" domain, it bring up difficult topics.

It's sort of schrodinger's domain, don't check on it and it both exists and doesn't exist at the same time!

Ask HN: Is Indie-Hacking Solopreneurship a viable strategy?
To avoid unnecessary disputes by "Indie-Hacking Solopreneurship" (IHS) I specifically mean building tech (software) based products (SaaS, apps, APIs and anything in between) alone (or in a tiny team of peers) with an ultimate goal of creating an asset that will provide a good living to its authors.

I wonder what is the evidence that this can work out from the economics perspective?

Are those few success stories you heard of — just lucky exceptions hiding a graveyard of half-dead endeavours you know nothing about?

By this post I would like to collect any evidence, stories, reasoning for and against the idea that this IHS thing is just a hyped temporary thing at best, no more scalable economically than gambling.

What signs and thoughts do I see to support it:

1. Majority of products I see (that "build in public" thing etc.) are feeding off the same comunity.

I.e. they selling each other some tools (fancy screenshot editors for marketing, "grow your twitter" kind of things, ebooks) that would hopefully help to finally create and sell your dream product.

It looks like the same old ponzi scheme in disguise. And economically is (money just circle around the same community inflating expectations on each revolution).

2. Isn't it so that tiny portion of the products eventually grow into real startups or businesses with employees, scaling, different priorities etc? Which looks like all this IHS was just a mask in the first place.

While the rest end up with inspiring/regretful blog posts after few years of struggle, or die right from the start if the author is lucky enough?

Even though the authors are often really talented and hardworking people, sometimes even finding their market (that eventually slips away).

3. If an indie hacker finds some good market niche and it's big enough or growing — doesn't it put him immidiately in the competition with hundreds of small and big companies (the bigger the niche - the bigger the companies)?

What can this hacker then possibly do to win this battle long-term?

If this niche is small (long tail), yet big enough to support the founder — doesn't this put him in the competition with thousands of other hackers aiming at low hanging fruit?

Let's say our hacker is the most brilliant one in the niche. Doesn't the mere fact of thousands of people tearing the small niche apart make this a loose-loose game anyway?

Of course all above just based on personal observations, which are obviously skewed.

This is why I'm looking for other perspectives, examples, counter-examples and anything meaningful you have to say on this.

Thank you for reading to this point :)

I think the word "leader" may be subtly misleading. Do the "temporal leaders" _intend_ to lead, or are group members near the margins of the herd doing whatever they feel like, and sometimes are just followed by those closest to them which can start a larger group movement?

As an analogy, a viral video going around purports to show an outdoor restaurant with tables on both sides of a sidewalk, where diners panic and run after a fitness class runs through -- they assume that the runners must be running from something. Are the runners "leading" the diners, just because they are followed? I would say no.
It's not particularly independent, but it is the last of the unreformed medieval municipal corporations. In earlier times every borough/city corporation was chartered ad hoc and often had completely undemocratic rules for membership (e.g. selection by the outgoing members, maintaining a self-selected oligarchy, or election by an extremely restricted franchise). There was a process from the Municipal Corporations Act 1835[0] onwards where the old order was reformed into a more modern (more uniform and more democratic) county/district/borough/city councils system. We eventually ended up with the local authorities we have today.

Except for the City of London. Here, a combination of the Victorian power of the Corporation, coupled with the tiny resident population of the City (and a consequent desire by central governments to leave elections in the effective hands of the companies who employ people in the City rather than those who live there) have left a body allowed to take its own direction. Along with the Council of the Isles of Scilly (weird because Scilly is far too small to justify its own principal authority, but too far from Cornwall to be conveniently governed by it) it is one of only two really sui generis principal local authorities in England.

> For many folks, a watch is jewelry.

It’s funny you say this. I view this of watches, but I wear a Whoop band which gives me utility.

My brother-in-law wears a watch, but has multiple times wondered why I wear a bracelet. His claim is “I don’t need a bracelet to tell me I slept horribly,” which is, in my opinion, completely missing the mark.

But it made me think about perception - I view watches as effectively jewelry because I have a smartphone. The benefits I could get out of a smart watch don’t match what I get from my Whoop (I’m very anti-notification so the Apple Watch doesn’t appeal to me), so I just view them all as vanity items (I realize they aren’t, but they would be for me).

Sorry, just an aside - perception is strange.
I would argue they are bad/incorrect/invalid if they dilute the meaning or abuse its gravity for effect.
Segmenting the two and performing conversions implicitly as necessary is fairly standard, the only thing that would be required is... exposing the current implicit behaviour.

Python, Ruby, or Lua do that. That's less "nonsense" than doing the same but hiding it from the user.

"num" also gives a false impression: before checking, I expected JS's (or Lua < 5.3) behaviour: everything is a double, and you only get 53 bits of integer precision (which is quite frustrating).
