The company I worked for, had a Xerox system. It looked like an 860, but may have actually been more modern.

Now that was ahead of its time.

We also had Osborne and Kaypro computers, but the 860 was arguably the inspiration for the Mac. The operating system presented a mouse (actually, I think it was a touchpad)-driven, icon-based GUI. I remember seeing the “trash can,” on the bottom right (I think). I also seem to remember folder icons.

But that was from a brief, 5-minute (or less) peek, 40 years ago.

They didn’t let us mensch engineers near the thing.

> I get the feeling reading this article that all I am supposed to do is feel good about Britain, and not ask any of these questions.

The article - a review of a book about Victorian science - specifically says that "This epochal transformation in public consciousness was forged in 19th-century Britain, continental Europe and the United States." It's not attempting to be a comparative history of science, and given it's subject, it is not fair to criticise it for not discussing prior scientific hubs. It specifically references the views of an American, Mark Twain.

I love how the SQLite author is so committed to the quality of his tools that he _wrote his own text editor_ as part of the project.

In about 99% of cases, for 99% of people, this is the wrong thing to do - but DRH pulled it off.

On the "why use flex/yacc ... when you can roll your own", I think the tradeoff is: if you have a deep understanding of theory of parsing and parser generators, then it's actually less mental effort for you to write your own from scratch, than it would be to learn the exact syntax and quirks and possibly bugs of someone else's implementation. Or to find out that some feature that's easy to implement from scratch, doesn't exist in the library.

I wonder, do we teach "classical" parsing that well anymore, in a way that could create the next generation's DRH?

For most use cases, I wouldn't advice actually a JavaScript framework.

The author is seriously suggesting Next.js to build a company website.

In a lot of "website" scenarios, it makes much more sense to choose a CMS like WordPress, Drupal, Django-cms etc.

In case of a custom application development, frameworks like Ruby on Rails, Phoenix/Elixir or Django is usually a smarter choice.

Next.js is not necessarily a good fit for every problem, and it may be more suited to a specific subset of problems than is often assumed.
It's interesting to me that, even here where people pride themselves on their intellectual and rational superiority, we can still observe the primitive human tendency to appeal to authority; see the top throwaway comment [1].

Genius is the ultimate source of music knowledge,

'Scholars like you' is a euphemism for 'random 12-year old ESL students trying to win internet points by posting misheard garbage'. If that is overly harsh, it is still closer to reality than any claim that 'genius' is a reliable source of music lyrics.

All 'genius' is, is dirt cheap to operate – a money grab. It absolutely is not fit for any serious use, and harms the world (well, to whatever extent arts knowledge impacts the world) by infecting it with a deluge of incorrect information.

I have no issues with macOS UI as such. It takes about 6-9 months to get used to it though coming from anything else. When you get there it actually makes sense. I've seen a lot of Windows converts expect everything to be windows-like but it's more NextSTEP than windows.

> Actual browsers decide to now just send the always accepted UA on any system to ensure the best experience

Case in point. An issue with Vivaldi browser was reported at the beginning of the year where google search/gmail/etc would show broken pages with links and buttons not working:

> Search for example shows the carriage, but does not accept user input.

> Gmail opens the page, but does not respond to any clicks to open emails.

> Image search doesn't show the images and pretends it's stuck "loading"

IIRC the issue was resolved on Vivaldi's side by changing UA to Chrome's for google services.

+1 to this. Huberman has the bad habit of constructing grand narratives that match his beliefs about health and reality, and packaging them as podcast episodes based on science. The only problem is that "based on science" might mean a single low-powered study, which Huberman cites and over-generalizes as if it was rock-solid fact. See this[0] discussion on Huberman's subreddit for more context.

Another example is his episode with Matthew Walker[1] (author of Why We Sleep), and his other episodes where he gives sleep advice citing Walker as an authority. The problem is that Walker's work is not good[2][3] (riddled with errors at best, fraudulent at worst).

To be clear: I'm sure a lot (if not the majority) of what Huberman says is correct, or at least matches our current scientific understanding. The problem is that some things are incorrect, and the layman has no way of knowing which is which (especially since all the content is presented with the same high-certainty "science-based tools" tone)

Here's a simplified example of your scenario. Imagine a video of a pattern of black dots on a white surface, moving around. The video is pixelated in an attempt to hide the precise layout of the pattern. But the nearest-neighbour pixelation would make it easy to see when a black dot moves into different pixel. Therefore you'd be able to reconstruct the pattern precisely.

This isn't quite right. U.S politics is much less party-centric than it is in many other countries. Basically, though you've got a vast majority of candidates for X or Y office who are either democrats or republicans, their platform tendencies can be quite diverse, even though they often go against the grain of their own party's nominal positions. It's somewhat subtle, but this detail of U.S party politics makes for a strong multi-party diversity of candidates even though there are formally only two parties that mean anything for votes.

This is how you can have, for example, a surprisingly moderate republican senator like Susan Collins, sharing the same party with someone like Trump. And then also in the same party, a Rand Paul type.
I am working with people from eastern Europe and west Asia. If they pay me in PayPal it's like 50:50 that the money is frozen for a month or two as fraud protection. Always resolving. 'Normal banking' often is no option at all.

It's worth your while to buy another domain. You could keep the .tk running.

Some sites shadowban .tk, Reddit probably still does. Search engines probably downrank it. That's because it's free and has been used for a lot of spammy stuff.

This makes it harder for people to share and harder for people to find. That might just put a damper on your hobby, but it might also mean you won't get random emails about jobs you might want. (If you're interested in that.)

> And that's how you get to a 3 trillion ponzi bubble in crypto that solves no problem, while similar investment into medical startups would create thousands of products, treatments and long term wealth.

I'm extremely glad that the types of people involved in crypto are in no way incentivised to do the same thing to the medical industry. Theranos was bad enough.

I'm not sure why you'd ever want to see crypto's web of scams and lies replicated in the medical industry. At least with crypto the harm is mainly limited to finances. When the grifters are peddling drugs and medical devices the consequences are much more dire.

Situation with certificate authorities is just getting ridiculous.

Before that a lot of extensions were introduced to somehow (poorly) cover other security risks (CRL, OSCP, CT Log, ...). Now we admit that secure certificate issuance requires DNSSEC to be in place in order to make CAA work securely.

Then why we have ditched DANE[1] in the first place? Why not infer public key trust directly from domain keys of DNSSEC? With dependence on DNSSEC, certificate authorities becoming fifth wheel.

I get what you are trying to explain but this analogy is completely wrong. It would mean that the two subjects are complementary and are often used together which is clearly not the case.

While a JavaScript framework like React can be used to build a company website or CMS, it is often not a good idea to use React to do this.

Off course this is highly context specific and depends on the particular requirements of the "company website". Without a strict definition of what it is, it will be always a discussion about an ambiguous and moving target.

The choice also depends on the technical knowledge and experience. For someone with years of experience with Javascript and really an expert on it, it might be still a smart choice. Or maybe we are not talking about 1 developer but a team of 10 developers etc.

I was just trying to suggest that this is not often the case.

Several banks here in Switzerland offers an alternative. Some with a third party, some even using their own gateways.

This submission does strike me as highly questionable (especially with the reddit references and the "challenge" to HN, as I pointed out). Which is exactly why HN shouldn't be the everyman's savior in resolving contractual issues with tech firms.

But my bias against Stripe is not based on internet gripes. I've guided clients through and written custom APIs to connect with at least half a dozen payment processors since early days (when it was direct to gateway). As such I've heard horror stories about many of them, and have a relatively good grasp of their respective business models as pertain to KYC, banking relationships, reserve holdings and how they deal with chargebacks. Many of the new wave engage in what I'd call shady practices or dark patterns geared toward screwing small business, but Stripe has the worst model and the worst reputation of anything I've seen since the dude who ran Liberty Reserve went into hiding. I don't think it's a stretch to call them scummy. Hell, my own barber and my massage therapist both got screwed by them.

The problem is not that the minority parties can cooperate with the opposition to bring down the current government, that's indeed a good thing. The problem is that every coalition in recent years has been so narrow that any individual party in the coalition, no matter how small, is still large enough to bring down the coalition on their own.

And my point in general was not that proportional represntation is bad because it has this specific failure mode, but rather that our political climate has put us in the situation where the failure mode happens consistently, and so the real problem democracies are facing (in my opinion) are the factors that lead to this situation rather than specifically the voting system (which at best is a contributing factor).

> our parties know that if they go beyond the pale they wont get reelected

Ours know that going beyond the pale won't cause them any problems, especially for the smaller parties ;)
Regarding SSG I've formalized (but not invented, it's as old as the web) a pattern that allows to extend it to pages that looks the same for multiple users, but not necessarily all of them. It's already common to do that for i18n where multiple users share a same language, but not all users.
So the scope of SSG us broader to what's described in the article, and also it should probably not be differenciated to SSR as it is just build-time cached SSR. Next 13 app folder makes this clearer.

basisu is really impressive, but it’s not perfect for all use cases.

I tried using it in a WebGL game, but found that a) decoding was too slow, and b) the quality was too low.

PNG is much bigger, so you’d think it wouldn’t be good for a web game, but once an image has been downloaded and cached, the most important factor is the decode-and-upload time. On the web, PNG and JPEG handily beat basisu there.

In a different situation, basisu could have worked out for me. On native rather than web, maybe the decode time would have been fine. With more photographic rather than geometric assets, maybe the quality would have been fine.
A minimal viable Deflate decompressor (that you’d need for PNG) is not exactly complex[1], although slower than mainline zlib.

Turing machine emulates a computer (a human that computes) with an infinite pencil, infinite sheet of paper and infinite eraser.

Lambda calculus emulates a computer (a human that computes) with an infinite pencil and infinite sheet of paper.

This is taken, if I remember correctly, straight from the communication between Church and Turing.

So, the logic is correct. Human can execute Turing machine and Turing machine (and lambda calculus) were invented to formalize the notion of human computers.
> We do not hold any user funds for any reason other than fraud prevention.

Ah yes, the things we do for "fraud prevention". I get that regulations might have Stripe's hands tied, but to say that the users posting their frustrations with frozen payouts are almost always fraudulent is a straight up lie. They might have triggered "fraud prevention" flags imposed by regulations on your system, but the majority are not fraudulent themselves (including me, who's had payouts frozen multiple times by both Stripe and Shopify, which I assume uses Stripe as a backend). We keep getting flagged and then "ok'd" by you guys almost twice each year. It's incredibly frustrating.
