I don't know the exact specifics, but I would imagine Gitlab has no chance of competing with GitHub, so they've made the decision to focus on a specific type of client.

I think the closest alternative to GitHub that has active users is Codeberg, but it is a relatively small community.

So, as you say, GitHub is pretty much the only game in town unless you've organized yourself to be part of IRC, mailing lists, and self-hosted version control systems.

> I don't like this one... if your comments are shadow banned or automatically hidden.. what's the point...

Shadow banning is a key moderation tool. If a user is trolling and they get banned, they just make a new account. If they get shadow banned, then no one engages with their content and they loose interest and go away.
It's not a perfect system. IMHO, HN could use some meta moderation. I get the occasional down vote. Just the price of having opininos and expressing them. It's actually quite common for me to see the same comment recover afterwards and end up with a positive score. To me that signals that HN has some bad actors abusing their moderation rights to down vote anything that conflicts with their world views.

Meta moderation could deal with these users more effectively. Take points from their precious reputation and ultimately take away their moderation rights in case of repeat offenders.
Meta AI employees will privately tell you Google, Open AI and a bunch of others are much more advanced than them. For some reason Google can't capitalize on it and it can't be because "AI is not in their DNA"...

I can’t wait to meet one of these mythical force multiplying engineering managers one day. Over the last decade as a senior engineer my experience has been that a mediocre engineer will begin to compensate for their shortcomings by becoming more involved in project management, usually spending most of the engineering time in jira land. Then their manager, who likely did the same damn thing, says “hey you look like management material!” and the cycle continues.

This parenting style doesn’t necessarily save parents time.

For example, to implement this: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/06/09/6169288...

It means involving toddlers into helping in small ways (and having to pay attention to the toddler’s capacity), even if that help initially involves many mistakes.

People who are barely treading water may not have the resources to do something like that, being too exhausted.

Further, you are mistaking safety for well-being. There are situations where overall mental and emotional well-being comes from the confidence built on taking calculated risks. You can only do that when the family and community has a solid social safety net.

To think that protecting poor people’s ability to parent grossly misses the point of this.
> Didn’t Chernow say that at the time that Hamilton and Burr dueled, that dueling wasn’t really a thing anyone did?

It was declining in the North (where it occurred), not so much in the South and elsewhere. The last notable political duel in the United States might be the Broderick-Terry duel in San Francisco in 1859.

Would you like to point out where I'm mistaken? Or are you just feigning superiority?

DOM objects can have exactly one parent, many children, and cannot have cycles (i.e, no parent can be itself or a child). It's very specifically a tree[0] of components. I'll take the L here if I can learn something from you. So tell me, with accuracy, how HTML/DOM is not a component tree? And then extra points as to why this different data structure is inherently less performant.

That is why I rather be bothered to look into other stacks, specially how mobile and cloud OS are being designed.

UNIX had a couple of interesting design options and that is about it, time to move on.
Simple: if you call into question another coder's syntax, logic or variable naming conventions, you must be prepared to defend your stance until death. En garde!
Yeah, but the problem and beauty of unix is the modularity and much of those features are out of the desktop environments hands. Control panel for what printer? Which settings? What version of the drivers?

At the lowest level you have the kernels (KDE and Gnome both run on Linux AND BSD) which may or may not have drivers built in. Then comes the distributions which are opinionated in the kernel versions, packages and patches they add.

Some of those packages are desktop environments or window managers and they are opinionated in how they run other packages and their lifecycle. Some full featured others are tiling. Some of them run on both Xorg and Wayland.

Last we have the actual packages, and they need to work in all these different environments, sizes and lately different protocols. They need to support different drivers, permissions and file system hierarchies. They do this by relying on each other, a package handling video focuses on supporting video and sound drivers so other packages can import that package.

KDE might have a very polished and up to date settings panel, checking for all drivers and their features. But in reality it works as intended on Ubuntu, but Debian is behind and doesn't want to patch the drivers because stability, on Arch there was a regression and most of the BSDs don't even support the driver. And one time Linus came along and didn't listen to the warnings and fucked it all with one line.

Nobody controls all of these pieces and they're so spread apart that what might seem as simple as a panel for printer settings quickly gets very complicated. But I wouldn't have it any other way. For those who want the one size fits all there are already options.
DoH was designed to prevent the network operators from interfering with or snooping on DNS. The stated purpose was to prevent your carrier or country from seeing which domains you access, and/or blocking you from accessing them. However, it also prevents devices like piHole from passively blocking ad requests as easily.
Subscriptions? Potentially the language model can give different answers and the highest bidder is the one that rises to prominence? Who knows... OpenAI was originally supposed to be a non-profit. The language model is essentially the sum total of the content of the internet which humanity up til now has contributed to so not sure we should be charged.

Is NixOS a cult? Every time someone posts about Linux packaging, there's a "you should just use NixOS" comment.

Although it provides its own solution to the Linux packaging problem, it's a single solution that comes with a whole load of baggage with it. It is not the panacea its proponents wants us to believe it is.

In this case I think using specific names and terms, tuned to a specific "market" helps trapped Girlbosses realize their situation. As the title says, OP is addressing a specific group. It's easier to think "yeah I'm not part of $group" if framed broadly as you are suggesting.
So...
it's hard out there.

My girlfriend is successful as an independent massage therapist, after working many years in day-spas where she had to accept lower wages and give up a lot of her income. Because she's successful, she's constantly being hit upon by female friends either inviting her into schemes or asking her for advice. (Some of these friends, she helps do their taxes - for free, because these 30-something women can't figure it out - but she doesn't give them financial advice).

Knowing a lot of these people and watching their schemes get derailed, I've come to a few conclusions.

1. Financial literacy basically doesn't exist. It's a miracle that my girlfriend taught herself. I'm not one to say that it's being intentionally suppressed in our educational system; I think the people who teach and write curricula are equally unequipped, so it's just a generational problem now in America.

2. The most paranoid / suspicious / likely to believe conspiracy theories are the ones who fall hardest for obvious ponzi schemes over and over. It's not clear to me why people who wouldn't accept a sandwich from a stranger are willing to put their life savings into an obvious scam (other than low IQ?)

3. It's brutal being a girl who gets into her 30s with a few kids and has no money and no prospects. Big companies hiring these women thrive on their desperation, so they're tolerant of smaller scams screwing them over and perpetuating the sense of there being no creative/industrious outlet for them.

4. Women's lib has been hijacked to the point that it's just another excuse for oppressing American women. This doesn't have to come in the form of workplace discrimination at Google. It's that the very inclusiveness of Google gives an excuse to the rest of society to dump the worst tasks and the most burden on women, with the excuse that everyone's now equal. That combined with a serious deficit in understanding the complicated schemes taking advantage of people results in this head-shakingly bizarre situation where tropes like "taking control of my life" are, over and over, just joining the latest iteration of Avon or tupperware parties.

So not to just sit here and complain, I'd offer a couple solutions:
1. Bring back real accounting and home eq classes
2. Have serious discussions in school about the life-altering consequences of early pregnancy
3. Tech companies need to take an active hand in labeling these things as MLMs or viral fads or simply not good investments
4. Women in their 30s-50s, who are a huge driving force of our economy, need to have paths to advancement that don't require going through get-rich-quick schemes, and this isn't something that can be accomplished by a few companies trotting out female VPs of marketing or something. Equal pay isn't enough; equal opportunities are what's needed.

A final thought; Jan 6th was supported by as many women as men. So was the Nazi occupation of Poland. Women can't be discounted as a force of political disaster if you create an underclass of so many disenfranchised people. The growth of these schemes among women is a very bad sign for our future as a democratic / market-based polity.
While I generally agree with you with respect to the mindset, it is actually possible to downgrade a flatpak [1]. It is rather involved, but possible. I have done it to downgrade cheese (the webcam app) since newer versions don't have the filters that older ones did, at least not for me.

Startup culture has a fake it til you make it problem.

In my journey as a 2x failed startup founder I meet many nice people, most of us were entranced by startup as performance theatre, occupying ourselves with every sort of entrepreneurial busy work except the harder work which would result in putting a product or service in front of customers, haunting an overpriced flexi-desk / office in incubator hell. And I met a few of the usual narcissists and sociopaths, scratching red in tooth and claw to become the Steve Jobs they knew themselves to be.

The only success I saw coming out of this system was an idea founded by some serious programming talent that had obvious shot at product market fit before they wrote a single line of code. Everyone else was just fooling themselves.
> There is no other evidence of any sort that LLMs may be intelligent

Other than all the downright uncanny output.

Personally I doubt current LLMs are sufficient for sentience but that's purely a hunch on my part. Many people such as yourself seem quite overconfident of something that feels like a form of human exceptionalism to me - the idea that such a simple bit of math couldn't possibly be sufficient for sentience. As far as I can tell such a belief is wholly unfounded.

> Maybe there’d be less people caught up in gang shootings etc if you had them dual it out in a controlled space…

Probably not. While a small part of gang violence deals with situations that might otherwise be handled by duels, a lot of it is more like war between factions which don’t happen to be states. Duels aren’t going to replace turf wars, even if they are legal.
Ehm, this remind me that there is https://framework7.io/ too and i spot a similarity on the web sites ;-)
IMO Framework7 has way more components available and it can be used in many use cases.
Exactly. It's unnatural, not to mention, boring.

That’s how it typically works in the UK, probably because of GDPR.

Just because harassment is involved in much of our economic transactions doesn’t mean that people wouldn’t buy stuff in a world without harassment. It’s just like cutting in line: all it does is change who gets first (for the worse), it doesn’t impact the flow of traffic overall.

> in what situation would one want a webpage to feel like a system native app?

When one has an app that can function as an SPA, wants to distribute outside of app stores but still give a native visual presentation. Currently working on such a side app myself right now. And that I can use this and continue implementing in Vue is a big plus for me.

Konsta UI looks exciting but their Framework7 App Framework looks even more so.

> Traditionally only the nobility dueled but this was gradually liberalized into all upper class individuals.

Looked at another way, traditionally only the upper class dueled, and that didn’t change when the capitalist class displaced the feudal aristocracy as the upper class.
I don't get it why ML is needed. Just download a DEM (for example, an aerial LIDAR map or SRTM), import it in QGIS along with your base map raster, choose the appropriate shading parameters and combine the two with appropriate blending.

I don't use NixOS, but from what I've read, you should just use NixOS.

All kidding aside, I installed NixOS (it installs like any other distro, it's just that after that you are completely lost), but it's a real paradigm shift.

I'm just hoping for Ubuntu Declarative Donkey at this point and hope someone addresses the learning curve and the specialist language and tools used. I'd hate to invest all this time and then all other distros finally respond and it was not really worth it after all. I mean it looks to me like one can just put a Yaml file at the heart of Ubuntu and make that work. At least as step 1. Why is there no response from the classic Linux vendors? There are atomic distro's yes (ie Fedora Silverblue), but no real NixOS-like product. I want my personal system to live in Git.

Maybe I should just use NixOS.
The chances of the problem not having being already tackled with deterministic algorithms is the thinnest - and in fact, yes, there do exist tools, as expected.

This is just unfamiliarity IMO.

This is a component you reuse across tons of sites, it's not a one off component you're building for yourself. It's also not just a CSS framework like Bootstrap. This is full CSS + JS component's with functionality, Vue/React/Svelte framework integration, and events built in.

Whether css-in-JS as a whole makes sense beyond these generic component type systems is a good question. There's plenty of complexity introduced.

But for a generic component being used in plenty of use cases - not just UI usecases - but highly interactive JS driven ones as well, then it makes a lot more sense to have styling tied to programming languages and conditionals and options and JS data structures.
I mean taking some random statements from a shorter line:

"uppercase" => "text-transform: uppercase;"

"duration-100" => "transition-duration: 100ms;"

"px-2" => "padding-left: 0.5rem; padding-right: 0.5rem;"

For someone who knows CSS I don't see it as a big downgrade in readability?

But for someone like me, the right side of that equation isn't something I could go around writing in my HTML, the left form is.

Even if all it's doing is acting as a short form for CSS that allows me to do a "no-no" and embed CSS in my markup, it enables me to be infinitely more productive in CSS than I've ever been.

-

And the reality is, if one day I work on a product that's so cursed with success that breaking that encapsulation starts to bite me:

a) It's rare there won't be a lot about the design that has to change anyways

b) I can hire/pay people who do this stuff for a living.

And in the meantime I'll still get a ton of value from it
I would not bet on atomicsemi, I think it's just a tool for prototyping in quick iterations.

And Tenstorrent I still see as a risky bet, but in my mind it's very +EV.

Everything is ML nowadays and we still use very naive approach driven by what hardware was available at hand.
Yesterday there was a story on the HN front page about a professor at the State University of New York at Albany who acts as an expert witness in litigation, sometimes in suits against Monsanto. He is 86 years old. Some commenter called this a "side hustle". WTF does this term mean, nevermind how ridiculous it is to apply it to this gentleman.^1 What purpose does it serve to use the term "side hustle". How does it improve upon the language that already exists.

1. Generally there are very few if any "full-time" expert witnesses. Obviously to be an "expert" one generally has to have engaged in something other than testifying as an one. Some might be semi-retired or retired professionals.
I've read this many times over the years. It's always a fascinating nostalgic read.

I need to start backing up random pages like this.
Yes, if we didn't have software patents. All of these products can be replaced by a team in a year or less. Overwhelmingly the features are basic image manipulation. One guy made photopea, an effective Photoshop replacement in javascript.

Adobe has intellectual property, not innovation.
I think that it is great you shared! :)

My point was not on features, but a taglines or anything that announces these features. Otherwise, it won't matter at all how many cool features you have.
Imagine laws that sanction mandatory "improvements" on the future subjects. To me, in that context, this "it's grossly unethical to stand in the way if that progress" is where the true (as in hardcore) politics begins. (Compare to that, the current politics, which deals in easy amendable decisions, feels like child play.) Then there is this dynamic we can all see in software development, with haste of feature addition and not much regard for other lesser aspects (in the marketable sense), that may cross into gene development. There are many more interesting angles that will pop up if you give it a thought...

What are your facts about what most people want?
Did you do some statistical work in this field?
It would be interesting to see your results.

As a competent HN reader you certainly are basing your view on some facts?
Any forum with a large group of problem-solvers who are discussing a problem are going to have a larger-than-average number of people announcing all kinds of terrible things.

Put another way, some Americans just love complaining about America.

We're a country of 330 million people, spread out the length of an entire continent. Name a problem, and somewhere, someone has it. No place you go to has every problem, and I imagine most places you go the average person will have more good than bad to say about where they live.
