This is the first time Unicon has made it to the HN front page. I find it interesting a language with more than 20 years of history is barely mentioned in HN discussions over the years. (Try a HN search to see yourself). Just an observation how some languages struggle with visibility.

One of the creator's of Unicon is Clint Jeffery who has published a recent book: Build Your Own Programming Language (Dec 2021)

Next.js API DX is horrible compared to actual API frameworks like fastify. :/

I wish I could love Next’s API routes as much as the rest of the framework.

Personally I'm interested in running ADC daughter boards on it. Current solution is to hook an eMMC Pi-clone to a separate co-processor board, but having both on a single board is easier. An alternative would be to run a RTOS on the Pi-clone, but I don't know any that support clones with eMMC (I have Tinker Boards and RockPis)
I don't really see this flying in front of a court. This information is easily accessible publicly literally one search to get the aircraft registration number and a second one on Flightradar24 or any of the other sites/apps to see where it is. It's not "technically public" as onsite paper records at your mayor's office, it's widely accessible online public.
Exactly as the paper author explains in this article https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/972608
Because most of the tech sphere is all in when it comes to rooting for a certain political side and for its associated worldview, some call it “liberal” but is anything but. They deserve everything that is coming their way, after 2+ years of those people banning and cancelling other people and stuff based on “science!” and the like (I’m triple vaccinated, adding this because it needs to be added, as that’s the level of discourse we’ve got to in the West in the last few years).

Well, most of it because their heirs kept their language. And cultural products in English are easily exportable

I'm not affiliated with stripe nor have I've ever used their services for payments. I did work for another payment providers before however.

> It's not just this complaint or similar ones, though. What recourse does a merchant have if you freeze funds and don't provide a reason or don't immediately put them in touch with a human?

The reason seems to have been provided, which is fraud suspicion. Stripe can't be expected to unfreeze the suspect money until this suspicion is cleared, which might take anything from hours to months, depending on the case. What kind of recourse do you think the payment providers can provide in this scenario?
I think the spectrum exists most places but it’s a minority of countries where there is such a strong divide and intentional polarisation between only 2 political choices, with those in the relative middle having to choose the lesser evil due to lack of other choice.

In many other countries the political parties lie in different areas of the spectrum, with the US’s “left” still quite right leaning compared to many other countries. Where there are more political parties with influence it is more likely that politicians will seek to bridge divides to bring over supporters, rather than just polarise their current supporters to vote more. There are countries where left leaning communities will swing to the right if convinced to do so. But they are still left and right and if you compare the fringe parties I think you’ll often find the same polarisation and combativeness, just less so as it doesn’t win the middle. Basically the more the middle is in play, the less polarised the political parties tend to be (obviously with exceptions).
Would it be fair game if Elon's name was removed? If it simply was "Tail #N628TS tracker", could Elon complain about it?

It seems that all flight data of a tail number is public, but the owner of said plane is private information. Is it correct?
While I am normally sympathetic with sticking it to the man[0], in this case I find myself leaning to the (re-)taggers. If these scofflaws wish to civilly disobey, they would do better to remove[1] their plates entirely.

Does "the PKI design" here mean specifically the Web PKI?

Or do you mean Public Key Infrastructure in general?

For PKI in general, you don't have any actual choice. This is actually why the Web PKI exists. SSL was originally conceived with no PKI, but upon analysis there's a trust problem. Why is this the right key? If I have no reason to believe it's the right key, Mallory can MITM me, the protocol achieved very little of value. So that's why there's the web PKI.

If you don't like how the Web PKI works, it seems to me that improvements (of which there have been a great many in the 20+ years I've cared about it) are exactly "patching holes in the design" and so, yeah, duh, of course that's what we are going to do.
> "living in a fantasy world of secondhand, childish banalities.”

The trend of comics cum cinema, and wizards lording it over muggles, which has been incessant for at least 20 years now, has been so consistent that it begs the question of why.

The basic underlying theme of all these 'cultural' products has been to instill the idea that 'little normal people' are powerless victims, and only magical special people with superpowers not available to the common man gets to save the day.

This has the been the programming for the past 20+ years. I hinted at this a few days ago in a comment regarding the strange case of "cults of personality" and "savior hero politicians" in the West.
Even many low-end devices have better screens nowadays than to see pixels themselves. Also, I don’t get this “natural” point, reading itself is unnatural and not too healthy, not because of light reflection vs emission, but because focusing on one point for a long time, which is the same in both types of reading.

> They're not gonna make it. Big tech success relies on being able to recruit talented employees, and the landscape is always competitive for those people. In how many of these scenarios will people want to work at Twitter? I just can’t see it.

We are at a point where small teams can get a lot done (see Gas app). This has all sorts of ramifications, the major one is staying agile and nimble for far longer. I mean, Clayton Christensen wrote books on the topic.

In an age where you can outsource expertise to BigCloud or NewCloud (sure, the costs are higher than if you run your own DCs and in-house expertise matters), you can avoid building large orgs, which are also a drag on the business and come with non-trivial amount of latent cost. Besides, tech is a knowledge-based field. Engs who want to improve have the opportunity do so (cue Ousterhout's a bit of slope makes for a lot of y-intercept).

The industry is just coming off of a major layoff season. An estimated 150k very capable engs now out of job. I hope some of these engs start companies (think: Jan Koum), but many others simply wouldn't have that luxury. While the best (or rather, popular) amongst us may have a pick of their choice (incl starting companies), the rest of us, as the saying goes... we cannot be choosers.

Twitter may yet fall apart like MySpace, Digg, Path, Yahoo et al, but I do think it stands a better chance than its predecessors did despite Elon.
Depends on how well those alternatives bank on the situation. I've always been disappointed by the lack of support and functionality on any non-Pi board I bought.
The fact that about 10% maintains an elisp package, and that about 90% can program in elisp, makes me suspect the outcomes are skewed. Either that, or emacs is doomed.

At this point it's difficult to believe that the situation isn't the goal of those currently in power.

A former Prime Minister privately admitting to stoking xenophobia and that they believe the country with some of the poorest worker's rights in Europe needs working conditions closer to that of China[0]:

> “There’s a slight thing in Britain about wanting the easy answers. That’s my reflection on the election and what’s gone before it, and the referendum – we say it’s all Europe that’s causing these huge problems … it’s all these migrants causing these problems. But actually what needs to happen is more … more graft. It’s not a popular message.”

At a time when many people are struggling to survive, mortgages and rents The Bank of England deepen that hardship by raising interest rates with the express intent of suppressing wages[1]:

> Bailey forecast skill shortages would push wages higher and prevent inflation falling towards the Bank’s 2% target as fast as he hoped.

> “There is a risk that [inflation won’t fall] in that way, particularly because the labour market and the labour supply in this country is so tight.

> “And that’s why, really, we had to raise interest rates today, because we see that risk as really quite pronounced.”

MPs who have awarded themselves pay rises above inflation vilifying people who have seen real term pay cuts of 20%[2].

I think we are talking specifically about server side rendering, which is a subset of server side functionality covered by a wide range of languages and frameworks, some of which predate things like node.js by quite some time, Like php, which literally started out as a server side template rendering language end of last century. Php and Javascript emerged around the same time if I remember correctly. I never was a big fan but it remains extremely popular and still runs quite large part of the web.

I'm not super opinionated on what people pick other than advising to not get tunnel vision and only consider one language. Also, static code generation and server side rendering are two very different beasts. Server side rendering of course can be as simple as just a static code generator where you don't actually persist the output (i.e. it's dynamic). But usually there's a bit more to it and you get server side views, caching, and a whole lot of other stuff that people forget about that is actually needed in a server application such as logging, database and other middleware integration, authorization and authentication, etc. Once you figure out you need all of that, a "lightweight" framework that isn't particularly good at any of that might not be the obvious first choice.

It's why javascript is much less of a mainstream choice on servers than it is in browsers. Yes you can use it and lots of people obviously do. But there are countless other very mature and well established technologies that you can choose from as well. And most of those can do server side rendering pretty easily as well as it is not that big of a deal to actually implement. If you need it.

I think the specific attraction of javascript based frameworks for frontend developers exploring getting into backend functionality is that they can use the same tools and frameworks that they were already using client side. Specifically react users seem to be looking for ways to use react on servers.
Or, just as likely, mastodon users are elon critics and thus hurt his feelings, which is a bannable offense.

Thus mastodon cross-posting and reposting is a proxy for bannable offenses, and therefore a bannable offense.
Funny to see Mastodonites complain about free speech when the main fediverse has one of the most strict speech policies I've seen online.
Immigration doesn’t lower wages. Telling people this usually doesn’t convince them because they just want an excuse to complain about immigrants, but nevertheless it’s true.

https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/why-immigration-doesnt-red...

In particular Australia’s population is 1/3rd immigrants. Australia’s minimum and median wages are both significantly higher than the UK. Does that mean there are so many immigrants they’re taking each others jobs instead?
We have 3 credit card processors and every freaking rule is always in their favor.

They have a downtime for visa, lasting 3 weeks? Nothing you can do, the gateway still charge you one quid per failed TX.

The worst was a single chargeback collapsed a MID and the processor refuses or claims they will not honor the settlement.Something like 20k usd for a months business.

All due to them miscoding and the chargeback exposing their miscoding practices.

Is there any recourse for this?

Any fintech news outlet where they can be named and shamed?

Offload to local device with, yes. Offload to server farm elsewhere ... naaah. You have at most a few ms to compress - stream - decompress - refresh. Any latency, jitter, stutter, etc has a very negative impact in vr. Much more so than on a regular monitor.

Ask HN: Is there a code golf community but for performance instead of size?
I like code golf because you usually can learn more about a language, but I think focusing on performance might be a better use of time.
Back in the (DOS) days, Targa/TGA was somewhat popular for the asset usage. Simple format plus RLE for a small size benefit.
Can be, sure. But SQL, whilst very capable, isn’t the language I’d reach for in order to define my entire business logic layer. Sometimes these transforms are fairly involved and pull in things from multiple data sources and APIs, yes these can be done with advanced SQL wrangling, but at some point you’re just using the wrong tool for the job.
Every news outlet, and perhaps journalist associations such as the NUJ, should set up their own mastodon instance now and advertise that that's how to avoid Musk's blocks. There's no need for them to take this lying down.
That we should probably learn to live with geese poo. We have a problem with crows poo in the city where I live, but I’d take that one thousand times over not having any crows at all, or geese, for that matter.

Pigeons are a little different because they’re mostly city-wide pets as things stand right now, they don’t seem to fill any “needed” ecological niche, but I may be wrong on that.
I know the article is about 80s BASICs, but QBASIC, first available in 91 and included free in MS-DOS 5.0 and higher, had named functions and subroutines.

Huh? People I know in tech range from communists to anarchists to hard libertarian. “Tech”, however you define it, is hardly a monolith.

If the policy is defined then I don't see a problem with that. The issue with Twitter is that Musk openly tweeted that he's a free speech absolutist and even said the things he now started to ban, were allowed.

It's the hypocrisy which is the issue there.
> policies

Establishing clear policies and guidelines is critical. Musk's mistake is making things up to suit his personal feelings as he goes along.
Yeah I think they should be switched
Reading the article, this seems to mostly be a safety issue. One of the guys got punched by an angry car driver and then police couldn't do anything due to the missing license plate.

Similarly, one missing/obscured plates become common enough, it gets easy for criminals to use that as a cover for a getaway car.
I think they mean "website" as in "static pages of content". Those are all web applications.
PNG/JPEG are not natively understood by GPUs, though. GPUs have compressed formats they natively understand, and basisu can transcode to them quickly. You'll be burning a lot more GPU texture memory as you'll be asking the GPU store raw image data instead of compressed image data.
I got a ton of appreciation for posting an archive link for the article about teen Luddites the other day. Any idea whether HN has a policy about this sort of thing?
Hmmm, at this rate we’re going to have to create Elon News ;)

I think it’s interesting to see somebody who thought content moderation was a simple problem realise that content moderation is actually an incredibly difficult and, in some ways, unsolvable problem. However it risks becoming a dominant conversation when there are plenty of other good conversations to have.
I turned off presence in early 2020 and I've never looked back. Far fewer people ping me about things I don't care about now.

I think expecting to get a reply instantly is a big part of why people bother you on Slack. Having to wait for a reply seems to cut out much of the noise.
ADS-B information is broadcast unencrypted in real time from every civilian aircraft all the time. Anyone can receive this information with easily available equipment and tell everyone about it on a website. I don’t think it’s technically possible to censor this information. If you’re worried about someone shooting you down or whatever then you’re going to have to find a different way to counter this. Maybe fit countermeasures or buy another two planes and keep people guessing which one you are on. But it seems overly paranoid TBH.
Yes, I would sign up! That sounds like a fun job which pays well. I love that kind of jobs.

Given sufficient languages and pronunciations, any word is indistinguishable from a common one. ;)

The lack of batteries-included frameworks don't mean it's not impossible. But it might means 2 things:

- Production codebase is really hard to extract into reuseable libraries.

- There're too many standards on the same things.

Rails is a success for one of reasons, is, DHH is the main leader, no "competitive standards".

HN guidelines ask for links to the original article rather than a news summary. This is a perfect example of why.
Yes indeed, every integration costs:

- kyc onboarding, getting and processing the docs and forms never goes smooth, can take 2 to 10 business days.

- integrating the gateway, 3k setup fee on average, plus dev cost for mapping the servers, doing the front end and the tests

- sometimes, due to being labeled a high risk sector industry, only trusted visa traffic, or an allocation thereof

And indeed, losing 30 percent would be the end, we operate with a 4 to 12 percent net margin, thanks goodness credit card payments are only 10 percent or so.

I am a total crypto sceptic, and the crypto psps are immature, but they are causing the least hassle.

What's the "main fediverse"?
Is another low tech way simply print screening the redacted image + cropping? Naturally you will lose resolution if the OS/app is downsampling the image to render but could be good enough and a good hedge against the image format somehow encoding history. AFAIK, some law firms still redact, print, scan for this reason.

Mastodons main federation is one of the most strict leftist communities there is. They don't even fire warning shots, they unlink your entire server for one message overtreading their "inclusive" guidelines.

They're even stricter than Reddit, and that sets a point.
The Saturn version of this games is excellent. Better than the PS version and though only released in Japan for the Saturn, it has been fan translated in within recent years.
Unlike code drag racing, code golf can be scored independently of the hardware substrate.

The problem is getting a foot in the door. Many companies outright ban AGPL code because their lawyers don't like the obligations (and how they are up for interpretation) that come with it.

That's simply too much friction. There's a reason most projects that see commercial adoption and are AGPL (or SSPL) started out more permissive.
It's not just language abstractions or lack thereof, there was a really fundamental issue, that makes what you say true - at least if we're talking about line-numbered BASICs.

None of those early ones had a proper editor. It struck me sometime after leaving BASIC, that the whole line-numbering thing was really kind of a cheesy substitute for proper text editing. Given the limitations of the day, though, it was adequate. But relating to your point, once your program grew beyond a screen-full, you were stuck typing things like "LIST 300-399" several times a minute, just to look through your code. Today we just page-up/page-down w/o thinking, it doesn't break the flow just to navigate through a program, but in 1980, those line numbers were In Your Face!

For programs that fit on one screen, though, this wasn't such an issue. With something like the PET, you could even cursor around on the screen and change things almost like using Notepad.
Have a look at Wigle.net and you will better understand how some localisation services works.

Many of these examples use Next.js to support their static content (eg, marketing). Maybe they mean that it's overkill for smaller projects or customers (eg, SMEs) which I would tend to agree with (although, there are Next.js low-code/CMS services emerging, like Builder.io or Plasmic) but for larger companies that have the JS web dev talent it can make perfect sense to do their marketing sites on Next.js. I've also served a small business (an agency) that wanted to do very funky stuff for their marketing site - Webflow or Wordpress certainly weren't going to cut it, so Next was a good fit.
