> I found NW.js before that and wished it was more popular and had more love

nw.js made me appreciate HTML5 so much.

I ran into bugs with literally every single nw.js API I used in the application. Here's a taste:

* nw.js window menu: arrow keys don't properly navigate across menus, accelerator shortcuts randomly break (bog standard ones like <ctrl-1>), some weird race condition displaying the menu which affects the dimensions of the document that get returned by the DOM, inability to change an accelerator shortcut during runtime, and many, many more

* at one point, the nwworkingdir attribute for input tags didn't work unless I injected the tag/attr/value as innerHTML

* win.zoom and menu.popup didn't play well together

* many others

On the other hand, the only HTML5 limitation I can remember was that SVG's getbbox will include clipped content in the returned bounding box. There's apparently a newer option to exclude the clipped areas, but AFAICT it isn't honored in any of the browsers.

So each time a user would submit a bug, I'd get a sinking feeling because I just knew it'd be some weirdness in one of the nw.js APIs which would have scant documentation. If that turned out to be the cause of the bug it would either be unfixable or require really nasty kludges to work around. (E.g., at one point nw.js didn't play well with the @font tag, but after hacking I figured out that it would work if I included the font inline in the relevant css as a data url.)

On the other hand, if the bug had to do with my own buggy js code or a misunderstanding of the DOM, I'd get excited because I knew there'd be 1000 pages of documentation, 10 years of various workarounds (most with code examples on SO), and probably even a blog with smooth animations showing why that part of the DOM works the way it does.

Not meaning to hurt any feelings here, but have you ever tried explaining to someone in rural Texas that you really think that a Government issued ID with which your taxes and medical records can be easily tracked is a good idea?

Federalism in the US, a large section of the population that has no intent to travel outside the country, and general suspicion of the Government in a lot of states means that there is a patchwork of different IDs with different requirements, all of which are perfectly valid for their own jurisdiction. Real ID is just a way to set a basic standard for this kind of ID that will be required for (mostly interstate) air travel.

A better analogy for you might be a European ID. Get back to me when you can file taxes and access medical records anywhere in Europe using the same ID. (I half expect someone to pipe up saying that this is indeed possible and make me eat my words.)

you can find very high dynamic range ADCs and DACs that cover the audio spectrum plus a few megahertz. Distortion due to spectral aliases above the Nyquist frequency is simply not an issue that one needs to worry about with decent hardware.

As for the cost efficiency of DSP emulation vs using genuine parts - sure maybe it makes sense to use real analog hardware. It depends on the specific requirements of your design.
If you represent an expired or otherwise invalidated license as legitimate proof of ID then that's fraud. I'm sure a sufficiently dedicated citizen can find a way to pretend to be here illegally, but as long as you're not going to mix up a reasonable law-abiding citizen with an illegal immigrant you can arrest them and sort it out afterwards.
If it is a "small town" then the actual town itself is likely to be easy to get around without a car. I looked at a local town of 15,000 people and it's only 4km across. You could bike that in 10-15 minutes.

As for getting to the next town it would be common to have a railway station (or bus station) with regular trains every 15/20/30 minutes. Easy enough to ride down to the station, hop on a train to the next town or big city.

Finally "Car-free" doesn't usually mean zero cars. Many households would still own them. But it does mean that it is reasonably possible not to need one and certainly not for every journey.

I don't agree. I think being able to decouple your ego from the things you accomplish, while still feeling good about it, is a form of personal growth.
Yikes, I had to look up why that doesn't work as intended. For others, map passes the value, index, and full array to a function, which is a noop for a fn of 1 argument, but parseInt takes a second argument, the radix to parse. So each iteration actually calls parseInt(value, index), which gives unexpected values.
This association with the French word that happens to be my surname is something that I've encountered more since moving from the UK to the US. Possibly due to the proximity to France resulting in a lot more UK people learning French in school than those who grow up in the US?

Ask HN: Which video editor is best to teach coding related material?
tl;dr

Just want to know the best video editor that does all the fancy crap for you without too much config.

Just was curious to get some thoughts from other folks out there. I have in the past done some only video tutorials on YouTube to help teach some coding frameworks or some other concepts. It is fine and all but I'm really just trying to focus better on getting the info out of my head, rather than fight the tools to make a better presentation.

I have a little bit of background in graphic design but I tend to obsess over the details. I've used kdenlive in the past and while it's cool and powerful it just takes a lot of extra time. If I had my choice, I'd rather pick a template that has some graphics, a font, and some other details picked out where I can just upload content, mess around for a short bit and them push it out there into the world.

The ultimate goal, I suppose is to help other developers learn some new concept. I mean it'd be great to get to a zillion subscribers and buy houses in Malibu, but since I'm not planning on that happening, I just want to teach other developers what I've learned. It will also help me use the videos for others at my job as reference to teach certain concepts. By me teaching, it also forces me to deepen my skills so I don't sound like a moron in the videos!

I suppose the goal would be an online editor (I primarily use Linux as my desktop). I've looked at Canva and Adobe Express which probably seems like my answer, but just wanted some opinions from others with more experience than myself.
Dioxus is still pre-1.0. We will try to minimize unnecessary changes, but there will be breaking changes between 0.x releases. This allows us to keep iterating to find the best approach. If you are willing to brave some breaking changes and bugs, try Dioxus. If you want a mature framework you might want to choose another project. I don't know of many mature rust frameworks but there are many more mature Javascript frameworks to choose from.

Here is a rough roadmap: https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus/blob/master/docs/guide/...

The major projects for the next year are to improving the native render (Blitz), the full stack framework (Tokamak), Router, and subtree rendering.
There is another kind of socialism discussed in the USA today. That’s a type of socialism not driven by government but instead direct ownership of the means of production by workers. Basically your economy is a bunch of cooperatives instead of a bunch of firms with a bunch of workers and a small number of owners. The former leads to an economy where everyone is part of the ownership class, eliminating the sharp divide in our current society between owners and workers. It is also a free market system that does not require government intervention to function. This is truer to the writings of Karl Marx than the various 20th century socialisms, as Marx did not generally advocate for a state of affairs where the state owns the means of production.

See for example Richard Wolff for a modern day economist who has been advocating for this type of socialism for a long time. Though you will find a historical through line of advocates going back to the 19th century. Notably there is a growing body of socialists who see the folly and horror of state-run socialisms who have gone back to the original theories and renewed their interest in direct control of collectively owned firms instead of state control.
A fresh take on framing at the ideation phase:

"If you were making a pitch deck for Facebook, SuperCell, or Slack, could you have convincingly articulated a “problem” that you’re trying to solve? Not easily. However, you could have easily framed the idea as: “This would be awesome.”

Many investors say that all pitch decks need to articulate the problem. We don’t agree. Many great companies can’t be — and weren’t — conceived that way."
They have basically done the same thing with software assurance support recently. A few years ago when we had a SQL issue in pre-deployment testing we opened a ticket and spoke to an engineer who knew what they were doing. Last year when we did that we had a 1x/day email back and forth with an out-of-country third party contractor who ultimately was unable to help us in any way. We ended up figuring it out ourselves (that Visual Studio version somehow conflicted with that SQL version such that data errors would get introduced (WTF!?)) while said support contractor was still trying to get in touch with real actual SQL engineers for us.

All those things are susceptible to the same issue: the ML model can generate test cases and error messages that are convincing to you and me regardless of whether they're actually right. Don't get me wrong, ML will reach a point someday where it catches up to humans in this respect; this is merely a shortcoming of today's ML, not tomorrow's, and it highlights where ML's weaknesses currently lie (in contrast to more vaguely defined goals like artwork).
Here are a few ideas.

If sitting down is bad, and I agree that it is, what about a stand-up desk or a treadmill desk or just getting up every 30 to 60 minutes to walk around?

If being alone is the problem, then what about switching into a role like professional services, customer support, sales engineering, etc. where you're technical but you're working with customers?
Ask HN: 90s kids happily less connected?

My impression is that folks in my generation are increasingly leaving or ignoring social networks and, after roughly a decade, have concluded that they aren’t helpful or interesting to them as a concept (perhaps outside of special domains such as professional networks or dating). They still stay in touch with groups of friends via messenger apps.

>Windows had a big, discontinuous shift when they abandoned the DOS-centric Windows codebase in the move to XP.

Windows 11 is the latest member of the Windows NT family, which originates from Windows NT 3.1 which coincides with Windows 3.1.

Windows NT 4.0, which coincides with Windows 95, is where things start to look more familiar to us today.

Windows 2000 followed to coincide with Windows 98 and ME and is where the NT family really got consumer-aimed software working right with the integration of DirectX all the way up to DirectX 9.

Windows XP which followed 2000 is really just 2000 with some more cleanup and QoL improvements. All the foundations were laid by the time of Windows 2000.

So yes, "all the 25 years of code" are definitely still in Windows 11 under a lick of paint.

This is the cancer that infected big tech. A class of professional managers who provide little to no value but don’t want to leave because the grift is so easy.
I'm not sure that's true -- almost everywhere I've worked, our developer machines have been macbooks (both in large and small corporations). Right now I'm working on a Thinkpad, but that's because the company I'm at primarily makes windows software.
> On beta versions of Windows 95, SimCity wasn’t working in testing. Microsoft tracked down the bug and added specific code to Windows 95 that looks for SimCity. If it finds SimCity running, it runs the memory allocator in a special mode that doesn’t free memory right away. That’s the kind of obsession with backward compatibility that made people willing to upgrade to Windows 95.

This would be pretty hacky by todays standards but looking at it now it just seems like an engineer was doing what was easiest to get the job done. Not condoning it of course but it’s fascinating nonetheless.
And how is SaaS income “passive”? There is server support, sales, etc.

Guess how many days sleep I’ve ever lost worrying about “market fit” or customer acquisition or whether my little SaaS company would be eaten alive by a better funded competitor?

How many little SaaS companies even Net as much as the average new grad makes their first year at any tech company?

I personally gladly choose not to have the stress of starting my own business or independent consulting. Even though I have the skillset and experience and pedigree to do “cloud consulting”. I have a whole organization full of lawyers, accountants, sales people, on call technical support so I can just wait for the next assignment.

It was amazing just how many attempts Microsoft (and partners) had to make to topple Netware.

MS-NET was doa[0]

The eventual 3 way partnership between 3Com, IBM and MS limped along as LAN Manager, but the real turning point that I remember was the growing requirement for TCP/IP on the desktop and directory services that worked.

Novell had awesome directory services but MS were faster to rehost their file sharing on TCP, largely due to the work done to run lan manager on Unix machines. It wasn't that TCP was faster, but it had a much better inter networking story. As networks got bigger, IPX ran out of puff. Microsoft giving the product away with Windows NT was the cherry on top.

Ariadne at Treehouse (who was in fact an early Pleroma developer) has quote-toots in Mastodon in live testing, with an eye to compatibility with the Misskey and Akkoma implementations, and she's done many years on the social sides of the issues with QTs and social software in general so I expect it won't suck. (I'm on a glitch-soc instance and my admin wants to add the Treehouse implementation as soon as it's done.)

We had a Netware 3 server back in the early 90s that at one point had about 18 months of uptime between reboots. I probably still have a picture of the server screen after it passed the 1 year mark.

> Or it's Linux fault for not supporting the S0LP?

That Linux should support all the crap in existence is a fair argument, however...

> the idea itself is good - that's what all the phones have utilized for at least previous 10 years

Phones are different from PCs, in the hardware design, but also in the usage pattern. If something makes perfect sense on a phone, it doesn't imply it does it on the PC as well.

I owned in the past two hybrid (Microsoft) laptops, which I carried and used on the way frequently, and still, the idea of a connected standby was evidently nonsensical (even ignoring the horribly broken implementation). If one wants to stay connected, they use a smartphone, and/or a smartwatch. A laptop can't be kept in a pocket and pulled it out in a second; it's also often awkard to use on the way.

There are no measurements around; embarrassingly, a presentation by an Intel engineer¹ has zero data, but has photos of cute animals. It certainly consumes more than S3, but how much, is carefully ignored (I bet considerably more).

The modern standby, and the convergence narrative in general, is pushed by the companies that couldn't set a foot in the mobile market (Intel and Microsoft), and are trying to appear relevant.

I hope it dies, although with M$ behind, it's unlikely that it will. It's tragic that a useless idea clearly invented by business suits, is affecting the hardware landscape so significantly.
