Thanks for working with me to get AccessKit support integrated.

I should note that the web demo isn't yet accessible, except with the built-in text-to-speech option that can currently only be enabled through the inaccessible UI itself. Not a complaint; just a clarification, since the parent comment mentioned both accessibility and the web demo. Sooner or later AccessKit will have a web platform adapter that will implement the usual parallel-DOM workaround for canvas-based apps.
> PHP just happens to be good at getting stuff done fast, so it's found all over the place, and thus has a lot of eyeballs on it. The negativity is a byproduct of it's usefulness and staying power - the price of popularity, if you will.

I don't like arguments like these because they're a tu quoque without even bothering to point out flaws in a different thing. It implicitly states that progress is impossible, that all languages will always be as bad, and nothing can ever improve because once a technology is widely-used, design flaws will magically appear. If you really believe that, write your next website backend in FORTRAN IV.

It was lazy argumentation when it was people saying Linux was just as buggy as Windows Me and it's lazy argumentation now.
How it's web3 when you "[..] build and run our own servers. In datacenters. [..]"? No centralized servers = no data?

This. There is a difference.

For a HackerNews audience, it's like saying that using apps on a phone means you are technology fluent versus creating an app and delivering it via apk to a phone. To be more inclusive it's like being able to read on a kindle versus write a document in word.

For the Youtube example; There is a difference between watching a video for entertainment, here's how to change the suspension in a car, versus watching for discovery - here's how to change the suspension, wait, where's that bolt, I'm doing it on my car too.

Society really hasn't changed that much, though the discoverers were likely more likely to survive in wars and subsistence -- though they were also labeled witches .

So the question really goes back to fabricators, menders, and consumption. Society could go a far way if we focused more on mending than consuming.

I’m not sure either, but the name makes me think they don’t understand hexadecimal numbers.
I have played hours upon hours upon hours of Minecraft. I’ve bought it multiple times for different platforms.

I didn’t even know it had an ending, and thought the headline to this story was meant to be a joke about it not having an ending.

Poetry is cool, man, but writing this absolute tome of a blogpost about how bitter you are for not getting rich off of a poem is a little bit pathetic. Move on with your life and write more poems.
In other words, the problem is that null is treated as if its class is a subclass of all classes. All of a sudden, you've introduced a superset of all of the problems with multiple inheritance. (Nulltype inherits from everything!) You've also made it nearly impossible to adhere to the Liskov substitution principle (unless none of your classes can do anything, making all object instances equivalent at runtime).

In type theory, a type that is a supertype of all types is called a "top type" and a type that is a subtype of all types is a "bottom type". It's okay to have one or more bottom types in a type system, as long as it's not possible to create instances of them. Unfortunately, in most of the popular statically typed languages, null is an instance of a bottom type. One reasonable use of a bottom type would be to allow a variable to assume one of many types, and require a dynamically-checked upcast when actually passing that variable to a function that cared about its types.
Show HN: Illustrated Transaction on Solana
Lately I've been working on a library to interact with multiple blockchains [1] and naturally I learned a lot of internals and nitty gritty details about each chain.

I wanted to share some of the learnings in a way that's not the usual blog post "get started with blockchain x".

I was inspired by "The Illustrated TLS Connection" [2]. I recall that when I first saw it a few months ago I was really engaged and took some time to go back and forth between TLS 1.2 & 1.3 to explore the differences. Granted I knew enough about TLS already, I still found that going through a connection byte by byte was an excellent exercise.

So I thought: why not trying it out with blockchain transactions? and Illustrated Tx was born.

The site is built in svelte 3 + bootstrap 5, published on github pages. (It's just my second project in svelte, this time around I learned about routing and adapters to publish, pretty good stuff.)

Of course I started with grandiose ideas to make the ultimate solana parser and explain every possible tx. Then I realized it's pretty difficult :) not necessarily for the parsing of the binary data, but for deciding where and how to add comments that more or less guide the user through a progressive learning experience.

LMK if you learn something new! :)

I not sure there is much to say.

Regular users will be interested in the most recent articles, seems fair to put them first.

Curious users will be interested to found an article that they may like. No need to say that a description of an article (and associated metadata) is far better than just the title.

And there is a search accessible in 1-click. Seems to me as a fair trade-off for every use case.
> ...then given a presidential pardon?

I'd go online to see if I could find someone to take a wager on that, but that's such easy money I doubt I'd get odds worth it.

I'd lay $1000 against that happening, and I don't have $1000 to spend lightly.
> The only thing relevant here is that blockchain data is almost exclusively append-only

So, Apache Kafka.

Edit: as anyone who actually does this for a living: you never use the append-only log as your source of data. Precisely because it's very expensive to reconstruct it

You’d think with his attitude he made the game rather than just write a poem (which he was paid $20k for).

This is like my babysitter observing some windfall in my life and, despite my transaction with them already paid at the rate they negotiated, expecting me to share more with them while using language like “I was a cornerstone of his family but that apparently wasn’t enough” because they watched DVDs with my kid.
The chat boxes that actually are chat don't bother me. Provided they don't try to pop-up unrequested or otherwise make themselves annoying, I actually like them. They can be really handy for asking a quick pre-sale question or getting support.

The ones that are just a shitty interface to a FAQ suck, though. I don't even like it when they're as you describe, because its eventually turning into an actual chat with a real person is kinda-hidden functionality.
Is there a "world stage"?
Your statements can and will be used againt you, but they will never be used in your favour ("hearsay"). If you have something to say, wait to say it on the stand, in front of a jury. Until then, it will hurt you, and it won't help you.
I do think Julian's poem is way better and, given Notch already had a huge hit on his hands, paying €20k is definitely worth it even if it's just a tiny improvement in the game.

What I think makes ChatGPT interesting is being able to dynamically generate ending poems that are based on the player and what happened in the game. I replied above with one simple example.

While I agree Trump did pardon a large number of shitbags, so did Clinton. Marc Rich? And Trump even pardoned Rod Blagojevich a powerful and horribly corrupt Democrat. So much for the swamp draining I guess.

The corruption of the powerful apparently transcends party lines. Almost like these lines are a diversion and distraction for the little people.
Have you done ux testing with real users of real websites? Is there really anyone who wants to use chatbots? I have never had a good experience with one. Always a waste of time. It has always been a negative-value product to me.
Depends on optics. This is controlled by executive branch and if they want portray themselves as hard on corruption, they’ll do it. You’ll see this on Americans arrested overseas. If it makes the media, the executive branch will flex its power. Just happened today with the basketball player caught with drugs in Russia.

Sadly, pretty typical for 2-valve fours of that price & era. The Chrysler SOHC 2.5 made about as much power, but was quieter about it. Likewise, the AMC 2.5 that they designed to replace the Iron Duke in Jeep applications was, despite being a truck motor, smooth enough to put in Eagle Premier sedans.
> What other profession expects to be paid for producing work and expects to keep the result of the work?

There are, I believe, a non-negligible number of companies who will write software for you, to a specification, and grant you a (sometimes non-exclusive) license to use that software but absolutely will not give you the copyright. Pretty sure there's a lot of IT companies, for example, that UKGOV contract to which do this.
Yeah for people asking to elaborate, this is what we did to get a ton of investor meetings for our MVP:

1. DO NOT BUILD OR SHIP ANYTHING
2. Instead spend all your time desperately talking to customers about the problem you want to solve. If you don't have a problem, pick a segment of people who you can get a hold of, who are not using the most cutting edge technology or using shitty technology, and use the MOM Test to talk to them.
3. Watch the most recent YC video on how to talk to users and memorize every word they say.

Once you have talked to literally 40 people who have a similar problem, THEN make a demo and get feedback. Buy figma templates, buy frontends, do everything you can to make something presentable to show people. This should not take more than like a day or two.

THEN start building a product.

All too often technical people build before talking to people or do customer development.
On Windows firewall matches ip4 and ip6 with the same rule. The address field there isn't numeric, but text, and can be ip4 address, ip4 network, ip6 address, ip6 network, address range, gateway or "any". Most rules specify "any" for addresses and focus more on ports, application paths and subprotocols like TCP/UDP.

I manage it with these earplugs:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051U7W32

I sleep in them, mostly so noises like the furnace coming on or the cats getting rowdy outside my bedroom don't wake me up. But also wear them anytime the tinnitus is bothering me. Things like road noise while driving, fan noise, vacuum cleaners, etc seem to aggravate mine, and the earplugs generally help lower the high-frequency noise in our environment. I've gotten so used to them that sometimes I don't realize they're in my ears. For me, it seems the less noise I have to process, the less tinnitus bothers me. So I've never used things like noise generators to mask the high-pitched ringing.

I cut about 1/4" off the tip of these earplugs before using them. If I don't, they puff out in my ear and will make it sore if worn for long periods of time. I wash them with soap and water and use them for months at a time, so that one jar of plugs has lasted me almost 10 years.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this. However - the bottleneck in the blockchain is not the read/writing of the APIs (which might be slow), but the main bottleneck is the settlement of the chain usually. For example, the settlement of a block on the Bitcoin blockchain takes about 10 mins. No matter how fast you make the throughput of all the APIs, settlement will still be slow. If this is strictly for the historical use case, then I can understand why this might be useful.

Good luck regardless :)
Truthfully generating that fingerprint is not in the user's interest. User representing software would skip doing that. If the storage service required it, it would generate plausible dummy values.

Negligence/amateurism is way better image than cold hearted criminal intent.
Isn't AngularDart "deprecated" now? I say "deprecated" in quotes because the repository has been archived [0] and it says it's been moved to a community project, which I'd think is a little strange if Google has a large (and I'd assume important due to it being a revenue generating site, ie ads) codebase but then archives the project.

Big fan of Flutter though, what's next for Flutter on the web, anything interesting?

The issue is that (probably) your broadband provider support/reply times are terrible (on the phone) so you appreciate the (convoluted/complex) experience via chat with Logitech and Amazon as "quite good compared to ...", since every company for this or that reason has lowered down to almost non-existant the level of assistance the few times that it is bearable and somehow it leads to a solution, it appears as (relatively) good.
He has several good points attacking strawmen of his own creation, which he willfully confuses with my actual arguments, to which he has no substantive response. It's an easy method to make yourself look good in online arguments and a total waste of time to engage with.

It's an okay option if you live in Denver, Salt Lake City, or Seattle (although even in those cities you'll be spending 1-2 hours sitting in traffic both ways which isn't everyone's cup of tea) but I can't imagine anyone in Southern or Midwestern states doing it.

Are you sure you aren't looking at the bottom of an S curve? Extrapolation is a dangerous thing to engage in, particularly from the nascent forms of a technology. Many technologies hit walls early on in their lives and are discovered to be infeasible or not useful.

Also, differentiating an exponential from even a low-order polynomial is not trivial at all given only a few points (we have <10) and a lot of noise. However, the trajectory of each is markedly different when you extrapolate.
Publicly admitting to crimes while firing to top flight law firm, which you later replace with one of your parents academic colleagues is maybe not what a sane persom in a “singular pursuit of not going to jail” does.

Sure, he's reputation washing, but that’s less to avoid jail and more for future business opportunities, whether or not he goes to jail.
Agreed. Perfect example of how something that one can take for granted as being 'obvious' isn't always.
A prominent new donor gets is responsible for a massive financial collapse and likely fraud, resulting in major losses for retail investors. Options are:

1. Claim ignorance of shady practices and disown donor.

2. Pull strings to avoid a real prosecution, and claim the guy did nothing wrong.

People really think politicians are going to choose option 2?
It's an issue not so much because the iPhone is a phone, but because it's a PC, and a much more personal one than any desktop or even laptop.
> The author was trying to stress the importance of wearing a life jacket, I don't think they need to get into statistical robustness in their summary paragraph for something that is so _obviously_ correct.

Then don't provide statistics and just state that it's obviously correct. If doing so is less convincing, then it means that the statement _was_ misleading.

> The only reason you would want to argue this point is if you think they are being intentionally misleading, which I highly doubt you do.

I think they believe the conclusion is true and are intentionally saying whatever they can to make people think it's true, regardless of whether the reasoning they imply is correct.

E: So, in my estimation they are intentionally misleading in the area of valid arguments and not in the area of water safety.

No, because he retained the copyright. If he won against Microsoft he would a) presumably get a lot of money (financial win), b) strike a small blow for the little guy against megacorps (moral win), and c) still be able to release the poem as CC0 or whatever he wanted (win).

That may be the author's point, but their egotism also then seems to believe that a significant portion of the non-monetary value of Minecraft is a result of their own brief work on an unskippable wall of text that has a nice sentiment but is quickly forgotten by, I'd guess, nearly everyone that plays the game.

It was a joke that clearly didn't translate -- you put too much effort into this attacking me.
The text isn’t large – it’s using the default font size you have configured in your browser.

The text on the original site is small – looks like pg’s sense of design is firmly rooted in the late 90s, when people were designing primarily with 640×480–800×600 in mind and there was an awful fad of setting body copy to 11–13px.

That’s too small for most people in typical reading conditions, but if that’s the size you are used to looking at all day, everything normal size looks “too big”, even if it’s actually just normal size.
Yeah, this "marketing" chat is pretty annoying, especially when the person on the other end can't do anything more than follow a basic script.

Their post seemed pretty tame. No evocative emotions or deity-assisted emphasis. They just said that between the available free, libre, open-source projects they prefer what they had before -- akin to saying they like to install qutebrowser rather than firefox.
I don’t know about you but when I go to our local supermarket and use cash to buy a beer, the person behind the register kinda sees me and recognizes what I picked.
