This is why I shy away from the Wordpress ecosystem. You end up relying on a mass on plugins and you have to just hope they work together and don’t do anything sketchy. I’ve always felt worried by that.

With other open source systems, there are large active repositories involved so you can trust things a lot easier. Although the npm / react ecosystems make me a little worried too, since dependencies are added so causally
Theatre mode? Second button from the right.
Are there any examples of really a great PWA on mobile? I always find the experience of company's mobile site far worse than its app (such as YouTube or Spotify), and I'm never sure if it's just lack of effort and attention, intentional to push users to the app, or just the ever so slight annoyances like slight tap delay on Safari iOS.
Does the variable "r" in your first example afford you anything more than what you can get from requests.post? e.g. Can you capture a return value from requests.post, and does it give you the same information to help debug that http.request gives?
Dupe. "Past" button shows identical HN submissions from 15/23/24+ hours ago
Sure, but how long is it going to take to design, produce, and install a few million such modules? Months? Years? If a security backdoor shutdown a few million cars all at once, there would be immense damage done within minutes as cars start slamming into eachother, hours as people deal with horrific traffic jams, and days as all those people who relied on those vehicles are stuck without their primary mode of transportation. If coordinated with other attacks (cyber or otherwise) it could easily be crippling to a response. Yeah we're not going to be permanently knocked out, but it's nice to avoid getting punched in the face to begin with.
Do you enjoy it?

It doesn’t because tech companies like META and it won’t be fixed so long as your narrative remains the norm. We can fix this but not by letting these companies get away with it

Well, start by having WebGL and WASM catching up with modern hardware, instead of lagging behind native tech for a decade, and this includes desktops, not constrained by the issues described on the posts.

WebGPU might finally get released this year, just in time to catch up with where Vulkan, DirectX and Metal were in 8 years ago, while forcing everyone to rewrite all their shaders.

Apple Watches and iPhones measure stability when walking. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212503

Flat surfaces and shoes, IMHO, reduce the amount of work it takes to stay balanced and thus makes it easier to fall. If you’re walking on uneven ground and need to be careful where and how you step your balance and the amount of attention you pay to it improve quickly.
It's a weird distinction you make. To say that it's a philosophical motivation is ignoring motivation of a lot of innovation and kind of beside the point. The "philosophy" of the internet was to build a network that would be resilient against a nuclear attack yet, because of those motivations and in spite of that cynical outlook, the internet was created that was robust and flexible. The "philosophical" motivation behind cryptography is privacy. The "philosophical" motivation behind medical research is to improve peoples quality of life. Science is the method to pursue our philosophical aims.

This sentence is also weird:

> The 'economics' behind it are completely misguided and appear to be based on the notion that taking power away from powerful entities and distributing amongst individuals will remove the problems associated with capitalist systems.

So you're arguing that consolidating power by removing it from the masses is a better alternative? It's not that distributing power solves problems, it's that distributing power is a necessary precursor to solving problems. You apparently disagree with that premise?

I said that it may have critical flaws not that it does. I'm trying to communicate uncertainty. I believe Bitcoin has a solid foundation but I could be wrong so I'm trying to leave room open for debate and to be open to new information that could prove me wrong. Bitcoin is also an evolving story, with usability issues and scaling issues that complicate discussions.

The fact that dogma is associated with it is kind of irrelevant. I guess you focus on it so much because it's dogma you disagree with? GNU is steeped in dogma. The US constitution is steeped in dogma. The mere fact that dogma is present is not the sole indicator of validity of an idea.

Bitcoin was a specific and evolutionary response to what was perceived as a failing system. Your statements get pretty hyperbolic. I'm not sure it's relevant, helpful or valid to compare Bitcoin to eugenics or atrocities committed by Russia on it's citizenship.
We recently had to build an SFTP based file upload system for our customers, complete with generating temporary ssh keypairs etc as they have no other way of sharing data with us that would pass various security audits.
If you told me 20 years ago that exchanging data with FTP would still be state of the art now, I’d probably would have changed careers. Literally billions sunk in tech companies and and only some incremental improvements in the fundamental network protocols.
When working on my 2nd bachelors, this subject came up in some of our sociology courses. The older people remembered exactly when this changed: the 1973 Oil Embargo. For them, this was the time when our mothers had to get a wage-paying job outside the home. Some remembered it as "that's when I had to start pumping my own gas". The people involved were all upper-middle class. My dad was an engineer (in the oil business) and the attire, cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption of Mad Men was reasonably close to my memories.

While many folks would consider factory workers are working class, they were unionized and I'd consider them middle class.

Max income tax bracket in the 70s was 70%. This prevented the income disparity that we've seen since the 1980s.

Pretty sure there are several SSH clients that are several times more popular than Blink :)
Hi Justine, QEMU developer here. Great job on Blink! You have done a lot of cool work and it's been fun to follow. I enjoyed looking at different choices you made in the frontend, for example flags handling is very different from QEMU.

QEMU's code generator is actually pretty fast and shouldn't really be expensive. It's a handful of passes that are run on individual basic blocks, certainly not optimal when a lot of code runs once as is the case for a very short compile but it's nothing like v8.

I suspect an even more silly reason—startup time might even be the biggest factor, because I think qemu-user's startup has never been optimized. I assume both QEMU and blink binaries are statically linked (or both dynamically linked, alternatively)?

Anyhow these theories should be pretty easy to disprove just by compiling something larger than hello world, so I will do it in case there's some low-hanging fruit left.
But nand2tetris doesn't have a historical approach if i'm not mistaken.
Interesting! Intuitively I would have had the answer right but I have no idea where that bit of info popped up from. Possibly something to do with SDLC or some other telecommunications protocol that I worked with or implemented the drivers for.
I think that it really depends on what the PWA is trying to do and its purpose. I think the Twitter, Instagram, and Starbucks apps are both good examples of what can be done. Potentially a lot more could be done with PWAs, if there was more push to make them better.

> There had been parallel tracks, and prototypes of a truly web-based OS, but they didn't launch. Cocoa was already Plan A when Jobs described the web as a "great application platform" at Moscone.

AFAIK, this is completely false. There was never a webOS-type proposal. Where do people come up with this stuff?
Right, that's very true! It's clear that you know what you're talking about when it comes to KVM and maybe even the internal structure in Linux. However, I/O can be avoided. Imagine a guest that needs no I/O, doesn't have any interrupts enabled, and simply runs a workload straight on the CPU (given that it has all the bits it needs). That is what I have made for $COMPANY, which is in production, and serves a ... purpose. I can't really elaborate more than I already have. But you get the gist of it. It works great. It does the job, and it sandboxes a piece of code at native speed. Lots of ifs and buts and memory sharing and tricks to get it to be fast and low latency. No need for JIT, which is a security and complexity nightmare.

The topic of this thread is about Blink, which happens to be a userspace emulator. Hence my comment.
I think that google thinks that it's not worth it. They could believe that videos don't have as much relevant information as text. Or if videos do have more information, it's not worth it to try to spend so much compute for it.

Plus large scale retrieval of video information is pretty challenging (even for them). Facebook had to create a new framework (FAISS) to solve this problem. So I presume it must be pretty challenging.

But on a short scale, they already do this. For some queries, in the search results, they show a youtube link which automatically goes to the relevant part of the video.

You don't need to use them in "big enough problems". I've used them with great success in a microservice architecture: had to consume some events, do some processing and spit out some data into Kafka. Absolute straightforward code, I could just focus on the "processing" part and ignore the boring plumbing. I'm sure that a lot of apps fit this pattern really well: consume data, processing, spit new data.

Personal experience as a web dev: the mobile Safari PWA experience (and even regular browser experience) is terrible. The browser is riddled with bugs and lacks support for features that have been around for a while. I apologzie for not having examples bc it was a few months ago that I was struggling with this, but hopefully someone else can fill some in. I honestly believe Apple's stranglehold on the mobile browsing experience has been one of the most disempowering things to mobile users in the last decade.
We can hate them for choosing to pollute the world with that kind of work, but they're still human beings being tortured in a mental coal mine.

No they're not. They're exploitatively torturing other people, while deploying machines to mine the coal. They deserve any bad thing that happens to them, because they have the education and resources to do better but choose not to.

I don't care that they're human. If they have agency and resources and leverage those in such willfully zero-sum fashion as you describe, they've chosen to gamble on profiting from the suffering of others. Empathy and kindness are good things, but empathy for willfully abusive people is maladaptive.
Good riddance. Since Ive's departure we have ports back, and mostly sensible design decisions.
A Toyota Synergy style hybrid has a more mechanically simple transmission than an ICE plus a traditional transmission. I haven't seen numbers, but I'd be surprised if ICE plus a fuel system weighs more than 300 miles worth of batteries, but you get 600 miles of range with the ICE. You could easily get more, but PHEVs seem to be stuck with a 12 gallon tank.

My PHEV has a two year maintenance cycle, and the ICE portion is changing the oil, mostly. Yes, at some point you'll need to do a timing chain/belt, and there's incidentals; you'll never need to replace emissions equipment on a BEV, and most of the unscheduled maintenance on my ICE equipped cars has been related to emissions: EGR valves, o2 sensors, EVAP canisters, etc.

The engine control system takes care of running the ICE regularly, it's not something you have to worry about. I'd expect it to push you to fill up the tank about twice a year if you're mostly driving electric. I drive my PHEV mostly gas, and not that often anyway, so I just fill up every 500 miles or so.
Citibike wants to connect to the city grid so they don't need to send technicians to every station to swap dead batteries. It's not too much of a stretch to think that, perhaps, the stations could recharge truck batteries, too, at some point. Many fewer residents bike during the winter, let alone during a snow storm, so you could, conceivably, sacrifice a bike space or two or five in December-February (or just when you know snow is coming). Stations are ubiquitous by now: especially in the denser areas, there's one every few blocks.

That's assuming you can deal with safety, theft and other related issues.

The web (browser) will always trail the desktop, because the web is an inner platform, and no inner platform can develop faster than the platform it runs on. Also, the web has to be compatible across 3 major operating systems, so you need to build wrapper layers.

I've come to the conclusion that the browser shoudl have become a virtual machine host where every tab was its own VM. Then at least we could run normal apps on the web without WASM.

I have been eating only one meal per day deliberately for many years. I have fasted for up to 4 days. I seldom fast for more than one day.

When I was doing keto, I never experienced the keto flu that many complain about. If these are the same symptoms, maybe the same benefits are achieved without taking the drug.

While I agree with your general thesis, most of the time people don't want to or need "Art" from their music, books or paintings. They need something easy and exciting to read on a plane, or some pleasant 'noise' to have on in the background, or something pretty to hang on their wall that works with their room. Computers can probably soon fill all these needs and drive a lot of the people who produce these things out of work, without ever having to encroach on the realm of "Art".
I know there are many regular and longtime HN readers who prefer the minimal, spare interface of HN’s website. By no means am I saying that my way of exploring the story feeds is superior.

As I understand it, the physician is responsible for being HIPAA compliant, but in my experience, physicians don't know much of anything about IT or computer technology or the practices modern SaaS and PaaS companies follow. I mean, the government's on board with pretending Microsoft isn't snooping every Word document made on Windows, but if Zoom has another of its Little Moments and someone breaks into a psychiatric therapy session, the psychiatrist is on the hook, and most MDs and medical Ph.Ds don't have a clue.
I think you're misunderstanding. There is no "natural set point." The set point moves up and down based on hormones, genes, diet, environment, medication, etc. And the very act of gaining weight causes your body's set point to move up, because of how weight gain affects your hormones. Unfortunately the set point is pretty sticky, and once it moves up, it does not like to move back down, in part because for most of animal history, weight loss is a sign of starvation.

Today, there are a bunch of factors that have combined to move people's set points higher than they should be: calorie-dense diets, sedentary lifestyles, plastics, drugs like antidepressants and lithium compounds in the water supply, and who knows what else. No one is arguing that the "natural" set point is 300 pounds or whatever. The point is that there is no natural set point because it's a function of many different variables.
I thought that a number of first party Google "native" apps is just a packaged PWA, isn't it?

Wow that's not something I've heard of before. Do they require staff to do the therapy in the hopes it will make a more productive workforce?

> e.g. Can you capture a return value from requests.post

Yes, I just didn't in my toy example. That's the response object, which will typically include all the response info, plus reponse.request, which has request info.

I'm not positive, but I'd bet it's similar.
They're a hosted version of Vitess, which is sharded MySQL (and more), which is generally a pain in the butt to implement / gets built in-house at major tech companies over and over.

Planetscale is doing for Vitess what Fastly does for Varnish, if that makes sense. Or maybe, what Datadog does to statd? It's a hosted platform around an awesome and complex-to-maintain bit of open source software.

> there's a difference between being full and feeling full.

Implying that something is off if you "feel" but are "not" full? How do you define full? Having a "healthy" amount of food in your stomach? However you define it, with asserting that, you have to acknowledge the closely related idea that there's something off if you are "full" (as you've defined it) but still not feeling full - or satiated. It's that broken state that so many of us are desperate to solve.

I'm on a GLP-1 agonist after years of diets, gym memberships, shame, etc. etc. and this medicine is nothing short of amazing for me. It feels like it has fixed things I didn't even realize were wrong and it has changed my relationship with food in very positive ways. It is now so much easier to eat - some food but not too much food - just like I've seen so many of my friends with healthy BMIs do forever and have always had to consciously fight to do, day in, day out.

But even more than that, it's changed my desire for alcohol and reduced my consumption patterns there as well. Moving is easier -- and that effect happened faster than weightless, suggesting a reduction in systemic inflammation as well.

The side effects were a little rough for the first two weeks, but after ~3 months on it, I'd happily be on this for life given the positive impacts I've seen, barring any unexpected/unseen side effects.

It is not my definition. It is the definition according to webster. You and OP are using the term incorrectly and I pointed that out. You and OP can make up your own definition of it, but unless one of you tells us what definition you are working off, the rest of us just are left guessing.

I never once said the elites shut down discussion yet you ask me to provide evidence for a point I never made? Its pretty hard to have a real discussion when one person decides to make stuff up out of thin air. If you read my last commit I even mention the OPs claim of no discussion because its politically incorrect does not make sense with the linked definition. Would this not be me providing evidence against the point you are asking me to prove? It seems like we both agree the OPs statement is incorrect so why are you trying to force me onto the other side of the argument?

As for the solution, I do not know a good solution. I use to think globalization was the answer but not anymore. That is why I asked you to explain why you are okay with globalization causing these serious issues. Based on your last sentence it seems like you agree these are bad and we should do something about them. Yet you don't mention the fact we have had a WTO for almost 2 decades that could address them and not one single country has tried too. For example WTO on child labor: https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/minist_e/min99_e/englis...

In my eyes when decades have passed, its a pretty clear sign the safety rails are not wanted or going to be added by those that have the power to add them.
