I started in the web and had to move to native when the feature gap between platforms got too great to ignore and customers started demanding native experiences.

React Native made this a little easier, but it definitely did not mean “write once, run anywhere”. (It’s more like, write a half that runs everywhere and another half that’s split between your target platforms)

After using RN a bunch, I’ve found there are times when it shines and other times when it’s best to defer to the native language, but I keep using RN because it reminds me most of what I love about the web:

The best “write it once run anywhere” platform I’ve used to date.
The situation was slightly more complicated. Half of the original launch apps on the phone were first built as JS web apps. Most were completely rewritten to be native apps before launch (and the rest after launch) because it was clear that the native experience was superior.

Only later was the decision made to ship a public SDK. Web apps were announced because that's the only thing third parties could use. There was no public API to speak of, just a collection of internal APIs and one-offs in individual apps.
Aren't there claims commonly made (I haven't reviewed the literature to know if it's compelling or not) that the medieval serf worked less than the modern worker?

You clearly never looked into how much tracking mobile apps have. There are a lot of tracking SDKs which literally track every click. At least on the web you can block things where mobile is black box.

I find this insightful.

I can relate to that.
Apps are not always more secure. I have a baby monitoring app that is always using my mic on Android, even though i have "only when I'm using the app" enabled. I can close a website, and it's gone. I cannot just close an app - those little suckers are running 24/7 doing god knows what
Maybe not for you but I find it immensely difficult (see my reply to your other comment) and I doubt I'm alone in that.

The ideal is FLOSS native apps, potentially with strong sandboxing, connecting to semantically-rich web-based APIs that provide any needed services. Which is pretty much how the Fediverse works.

Web sites are the second best; proprietary apps should be the last resort.
I don't know if I'd call a veterinary anaesthetist a foremost expert on fat metabolism. His thoughts on insulin signaling are not consistent with the consensus among obesity researchers. He thinks glp-1 works through uncoupling or fat browning which is just not true.

The consensus among most obesity researchers is the cause of obesity is primarily neurological, not metabolic. Basically the brain can't properly regulate weight in the current obesogenic environment. When you look at GWAS most of the genes related to obesity are active in the brain, (as opposed to genes for diabetes which are more closely related to fat/metabolism etc...).

I'd describe Petro Dobromylskyj as a smart hobbyist with an outsiders views of obesity, not a foremost expert on fat metabolism.
I'm not going to go to deeply into incest, but I will say I think that if you intend on reproducing knowing the increased statistical likelihood that the children will have a significantly poor quality of life due to genetic in-breeding, then you're acting unethically.

That being said, this is my primary hacker news account and it's a throwaway. It allows me to voice dissension where silence might be taken as agreement, while simultaneously reducing my stress level since I never go back and bother to check for replies.
Especially with NoScript (when possible).
I'm not arguing against marriage at all. But tying it very tightly to sex means people rush into marriage more, before they're entirely sure about compatibility, and can also tie into a feeling that you can't leave that leaks into widespread resentment for marriage in general.
All else aside, this:

> When Apple was a niche PC maker, it needed the web as a way to help potential customers de-risk the purchase of luxury computers. While it enjoyed outsized influence, the Mac never had enough share to create a sufficiently large software ecosystem w/o the web.

Just doesn’t track to me. The mac was a fairly popular native platform. Many early ios developers started out as mac developers. Macs were extremely viable for most professional users without the web.
>Just to give an example, I couldnt care less about people engaging in incest and find it just an old cultural taboo. Adults are responsible enough to know about the dangers of having children and they can do whatever they want.

Incest taboos go way, way deeper than cultural hysteresis. There's at least some evidence[0] that humans are biologically programmed to find people they grew up with dramatically unsexy. The people who are angrily shouting at you and calling you disgusting are probably reacting on that same effect.

There's also the tendency of people to publicly denounce their fetishes. Think Christian priests loudly condemning two consenting men for kissing while raping the choir boys in private. Or how 4chan's politics board stuck the word "cuck" on absolutely everything because they wanted to apply porn logic to race relations. I'm not saying every one of those Redditors has an incest fetish, but it's likely that at least some of them do.

That being said... your opinion isn't that fringe? Like, there's a huge gulf from "I don't care about incest" to "dressing as Hitler for Halloween". For me, the former is an "Agree to disagree" thing, while the latter is an "oh my god we need to isolate this person from society before they get power and hurt people" thing. And Reddit is notorious for having really shitty takes and ganging up on people[1]. On the other hand, you're paraphrasing your opinion heavily and it's entirely possible that you've just given yourself the luxury of your own point of view. Like, I'm finding it difficult to believe that you merely had a "meh" opinion on this subject.

[1] For those who want to compare, Twitter's takes are usually less shitty but they gang up on people way more often. It's the difference between a scorpion and a wasps' nest.
Web > Mobile Web > App in that order.

On my iPad the "web" just works, any "m." site just adds even more whitespace than web developers seem compelled to force on viewers and raises the font size to 3x bigger than the large type books at the public library.

Web sites (say Reddit) have some banner that says it is better if you download the app, log in and all that bs, but you know it is not better for you it is better for them collecting data on you.

But really how bad it is it? I spend as little time as possible with apps on my iPad, mostly i have 6 different apps so I can occasionally do something with the "internet of things".

My take is that the web works just fine on mobile, it is PWA and push notifications which no users asked for, anyway. I mean, push notifications, does anybody really want to get more spam? The one thing I know is that everybody and his brother and his sister and all their cousins and their cousin's schoolteachers and on and on wants to send me more spam than I can handle so if Apple is saying "no spam please" isn't that fighting the good fight?
If you like rope tricks, I'd guess Mac King is pretty close to the best around.

HN's guidelines are to downvote if something doesn't add to the discussion.

I think in this case it's fine to argue something "is not a big deal" but I think you have got to add more to the discussion than "technology always gets better".
TS is probably as good as transpilers get. It really is quite good. I like that it maps one ts file into one js file and creates readable code (although output is normally bundled so readability is lost). I like that ts aids dev discovery in tools (intellisense) at write-time. But ts still needs a build step, and that's a big down-side to the immediacy of "plain" javascript.

If browser vendors bundled tsc or its equivalent then we'd both be stoked.
They start and stop a lot, with a really heavy load. That's brutal for fuel efficiency, but with regenerative braking, would surely be much less of a factor.
Yes I’ve had life coaches at 2 points in my career and found them very very effective.
I'm waiting for the moment when you can just run an Android or iOS emulator inside the browser (through WASM, probably), and run any app you want on any platform, and safely.
Not if you suffer from RSI and you want to use as few key strokes as possible. I really don't understand this trend towards minimalist keyboards. I want more keys, not fewer.

I mean, a pianist also doesn't put everything on their home row.
Besides security it's pretty opaque, and unnecessarily so. The data all comes over JSON so there's no non-JSONable types involved. It would be nice to be able to run tools like cost summarizing over the JSON without having to load up any other code.
And yet the apps are almost universally better. I mean using Facebook.com is painful compared to the app. But the same goes for most trivial apps that merely show an embedded browser and almost nothing else.
I'm still reading through the changes ( https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/v2-changes.htm ), but I like what I'm seeing so far. So many (many many) quirks and special cases are just gone now, I suspect users will find it much faster to learn and easier to avoid getting stuck on odd burrs on every corner.

I learned programming with AHK back before data structures like maps and arrays even existed (!), and I'm happy to see it's still getting better. I still use a few utilities that I built on a daily basis.

Firefox released a mobile OS (Firefox OS) in 2013. The aim was to encourage app developers use open technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, open web APIs). Development of Firefox OS stopped in 2015.

At the time I thought that Firefox was wasting resources on development on Firefox OS. But now I think I was wrong. Firefox could see the promise of a PWA (Progressive Web Apps) mobile future, but the tech was clumsy and immature. Perhaps Firefox OS was too early for the technology?

Perhaps the process for obtaining a free 90-day LE certificate will be automated in TLS proxies so it is executed automatically every 90 days. Maybe the Kool-Aid eventually wears off and the reality sets in. No one likes "certificates as a business" except those who profit from it.
Oh, I completely agree that nationwide general-knowledge placement tests are likely not the best way to measure achievement -- especially the SAT/ACTs. Within US high school education, I expect the grade system to continue to exist for a while.

But when it comes to higher education, I think specialized placement tests applicable to a program are definitely useful. The LSAT and MCAT clearly have some value, at least, though they should not be considered the end-all-be-all by any means, either.
One idea: create significantly less garbage by outlawing US Postal Delivery of spam.

This amount of calorie would be without taking into account any exercise. Then on top of that, if you exercise (I didn't), you would just eat back the calories you consume via exercising to not be at an unhealthy level.
> Synoptical reading is reading a variety of books and articles on the same topic, finding and evaluating the contradictions, and forming an opinion.

The one thing I can see that's missing from a modern version of this is "books aren't the only source of information anymore."

For example, I'm studying linear algebra. I've gone through 3blue1brown on the topic, working through Khan Academy on linear algebra, and am working on the book "Linear Algebra: Theory, Intuition, Code" by Mike X Cohen. I may add a Coursera course when I finish one or more of these, if I feel it is necessary.

Getting information from multiple sources is a key to getting a good understanding of it.

In person courses can be great, too. But reading is a solo activity, so more comparable to videos, and self-paced classes.

https://www.cultofmac.com/125180/steve-jobs-was-originally-d...

Whether it's revisionist history or not, there were later claims that Steve Jobs knew they couldn't have a native platform ready when the iPhone was first announced so they stalled for time to a) get the App Store ready and b) see what types of app ideas were popular to get those platform APIs finalized. The interim solution was web apps with recommendations to look at the Dashboard APIs in Mac OS X (which were basically web apps).
There's also issuance via DNS which took most of the complexity out of it for me. (Especially as the first time I went to deploy LetsEncrypt I had something like four web servers behind a LoadBalancer without the LB terminating TLS.)

I think the tooling has improved somewhat since too, although I didn't look too closely.

Your perspective is refreshing. I realized I was in a rut seeing the opposite perspective, that costs via things like SOC2 compliance were driving up barriers to lifestyle like businesses.
I sometimes use an older phone to browse the web. I've noticed that LE sites just don't load.

It just says "can't establish a secure connection".

Larger sites don't have this problem.
For sure - I didn't say they're always more secure. But in general - the majority of (maintained) applications that have less dependencies tend to be. Just have a look at the insane number of NPM packages a node application includes - good luck running (timely) automated analysis across all of those let alone maintaining the dependency tree.
I work on a C library. Some of the functions I've written, like memmove(), take about 7 picoseconds per byte for sizes that are within the L1 cache, thanks to enhanced rep movsb.
The fact you're trying to tie obesity to alcohol (Existed for thousands of years) and weed is bizarre, considering the far more natural and obvious link is copious amounts of sugar and hfcs (In drinks, spreads, processed food, etc).

I'm not sure about the exact year, but I doubt LE will work for devices before 2018. I think they changed their root cert at some point relatively recent.

Edit - I stand corrected. Likely I've been confused by a few devices and Linux distros I had that simply broke on that day.

Also, I remember having to manually fix a few Ubuntu servers that day when this happened. Anyone else had that experience around Oct 2021?
Someone who is 6'2" would need to weigh 195 lbs to be considered at all overweight. The BMR for a median 55 year old male is around 1800 calories, and thats for someone just marginally overweight.

Seriously? No thanks. Think I'll give you all a few decades to see what the long-term effects are like, and let my body largely take care of itself except when specific medical issues indicate that an intervention is in order.
Old school? Old school was when you could put up a harmless, noncommercial, mostly static HTML web site and run it over plain http without being considered some info security risk outlier.

I have one of these web sites. After some coaching from a modern web literate colleague, it now autopromotes to https using a LE certificate. It works. Or does it? Half my relatives who access a (private and password protected) photo server promptly reported losing access. This is the still using 32-bit Chrome on Windows XP, save a password in a browser once and then never think about it again, kind of crowd.
That reverse debugging feature looks cool. At a high level, how does it work?
The new idea (mostly in the West) that being obese is/can be a healthy lifestyle is absolutely maddening. People being obese (and I don't mean a few pounds overweight) raises everyone's healthcare cost, because it is incredibly unhealthy and obese people tend to have more complications which requires more treatment, workers and subsidizing.

It does make sense and strikes me as irrational to celebrate something which is clearly harmful to society
The third point, about calibrating where you are in relationship to the thing, resounds as a core lesson for everyone to consider.

> I think of product data scientists as consultants to the product. They are expected to have a deep understanding of how users engage with the product, and use these data insights to actively suggest improvements. Since their job is to just focus on the data and metrics, they are the best equipped to do this because they have spent the most time understanding what’s actually going on.

> However, the final decision on whether those suggested improvements are prioritized is made by the PM and engineering counterparts.

The first two points, about always being able to advance yourself, about social ordering, are also good framings to evaluate jobs from. Something about the third point feels more like an angle I'd want to stress so heavily, of where a role places us: interior or exterior to the thing, the work. There's for sure a lot of good in specialist & support roles, but recognizing the distance from the core that that sometimes has is key.

Different orgs ought to be able to explore different configurations. Data Science doesnt feel like it should necessarily always be this way! But there's definitely a gap, it would entail brdging responsibilitiea out away from a core group, or embeddding more people into a core, & that re-distributing ownership woupd require some organizational pioneering.
Also addiction is not defined by unethical or illegal behavior - it's about continuing to do something even when you know you're harming yourself by doing it (and even when you actively want to stop). People go to great lengths for things they're addicted to without doing anything remotely unethical or illegal but while still doing things you'd probably consider totally insane.
Staten Island isn't as big as Raleigh or Atlanta. Its much smaller population and area-wise, focusing on just their metro areas. Denser for sure, but not larger.
No, I'd really like to see this change as I feel there are a lot of hidden gems in the Go ecosystem. Developers arrive in Go, find Gin and start making their Rails/Laravel/Express.js MVC framework without realizing Go offers some alternatives by it's design (Rust too!)
Eating food and drinking alcohol is a core part of most social activities. When you're losing weight, you can't really fuck up, you really need to stick to your diet. I found it difficult to maintain my diet in social settings (going to a friends party, eating at a restaurant with friends, going to a bar to celebrate something, etc) so I just stopped doing all of those things for 8 months. Like, if you're trying to quit heroin you're not going to go hang out with your old heroin buddies all the time and you're not going to do go near the places that sell heroin. Now, imagine that instead of being addicted to heroin, you're addicted to food, and all of the places that sell heroin are all the places that sell candy or burgers or really anything nowadays, and all of your "heroin friends" are really just your normal friends who have healthy relationships with food. Its really difficult to get away from it. When you're addicted to food, the only real way to improve is to quit it cold turkey style and that means some serious lifestyle changes.
