India is still a Hindu nation so Hindus have suffered but they are still standing. Hindu mashal spirit never surrendered to the invasion otherwise like persia India would also completely vanished.Muslims invaded Sindh in 711 AD. For next 500 years they struggled to move past sindh and never conquered India until Turko Mughal succeeded in 12th century. Even when they ruled they faced continue challenge from the Hindu. For example when Aurangzeb tried imposing zaziya tax on Hindus, shivaji dared him to collect it from Mewar.

Hindus men performed saka (fighting to the last man) and women performed jauhar by burning themselves alive in the fire.

Buddhism on the otherhand suffered due to being non violent and practically vanished.
Geocities deserves the scorn and criticism. It died and took with it untold amounts of websites before archivists had a chance to save them.
It's years of skill and many different learned things to arrive on a curated outcome like this personal site, which is the point. Don't try to get there today, but maybe make your own site that's the best you can build with what you know.

And honestly, if you do want to jump into this, there's nothing better than just to start. Use something like codepen and start playing with CSS & CSS animations. Try replicating some of the text animations (there'll be lots of examples on the internet) and go from there. After CSS animations (which will get you 80% of the way), would be helpful to explore composition & color theory (from a design perspective, studying and replicating examples is good to pick up skill and find your "design voice"). From there, the sky's the limit.
Since your user name suggests you might be a coder, maybe you and those employed in similar occupations could work on tools that prevent this level of monitoring while still providing data that allows researchers to understand and mitigate problems before they become insurmountable.

There is another post on a similar subject dealing with bottom trawlers off the coast of Alaska where fisheries are in collapse. These are all solvable problems.

The real monitoring issue is less from governments, it is more a corporate issue where users are required to give up details of their private lives in order to use a service. Perhaps stop providing those types of tools since that data can inevitably leak to governments if an individual becomes a target of surveillance or to bad actors trying to extort or to steal identities.
Decentralized alternatives are primarily built by developers, Im not sure if Matrix employs specialized UI/UX teams. But at least a lot of attention is definitely paid in designing UI/UX for apps like Whatsapp, Discord, etc. They have cash to employ designers.
Developers gain a good amount of knowledge, popularity, and skill, maintaining open source code, but for UI/UX, there is not much to gain for designers unless paid for.
I'm... not sure, and it would arguably be an interesting social experiment.

I'm struggling to think of anyone who accumulated this degree of blind adulation and _did_ act like a normal, reasonable person; maybe being an arsehole is actually an entry requirement.

That is the whole point though. People tend to stop at layer 1, when they are sitting on something that has value for other things as well.
It’s one thing to decide that someone’s role is no longer necessary at a company. It’s business, things change, no role is guaranteed to exist forever.

But firing someone without communication and with HR unable to confirm it is just low. Mocking them on Twitter for their well-documented physical disability is just abhorrent.

This could have been a completely different exchange if the response was a simple “Sorry for the confusion, I’ll look into it and have HR get back to you ASAP.”
Worse, historically we know the kind of fallout from Elon Musk directing hate at another person, the pedo boy situation.

Now, Elon Musk won that legal case, but perhaps he wouldn't win a case where he challenges Hari's legitimacy.
This article is extremely cautious, nuanced, and open in its attributions. Their mentioning of „unnamed sources“ in regards to Hersch also doesn’t include any judgement how that piece of information should change your judgement—that step is happening entirely in your brain.
It's trading one kind of bullying for another.
How so? You only search and replace: "from 'lodash'" => "from 'lodash-es'" and you should be good.

I already have. I only use Signal for pre-existing conversations now. It's quite the shame.
Would you please care to reflect on the following problem area, which you might be uniquely positioned to understand and help address?:

Personally, I find it alarming and problematic (though understandable and not surprising, obviously) that so many industry (services, jobs, etc.) are dependent on the big three public clouds (G, A, and M).

- Those owners (and their tenants) can decide to boot customers on whatever (illogical, political) whim; I think this is not purely fantasy.

- Despite whatever portability may exist due to the containerization and microservice standards, those owners essentially practice the "capturing" of customers (and workers) through pretty complex sets of knowledge for running, deploying, and maintaining the services. (Always be upgrading, whether for features, security, API/tool/ecosystem/business updates, etc.).

Sure, there are many other hosts. But I think there is (maybe) something where one could say:

1) Okay, it is (stupid and uncomfortable) to depend on G, or A, or M, given all that they do, even if they abstract away a lot of details the industry has come together to solve.

2) The solution is (stabilize, document, and publish/educate) regarding a set of tools/practices for being truly "infra agnostic"--to build and run the same microservices, but on any given set of hosts that one can own/rent/etc.

I hope I made that clear. Maybe this already exists (if so, please tell me), but I'm pretty sure it's not optimal yet, if so.

For background, and some of the above motivations aside, as someone who worked in a big company that owned its infra and did not use the big 3, and seeing all the jobs requiring experience with (one of) the big 3 public clouds, even though studying up would be doable, it seems like a fool's errand to me and a huge turn-off to learn even one much less all of the big 3 public clouds' ins and outs, because I know they will just change and I know for sure they are not thinking companies that will do the right thing.

Anything you could comment on regarding whether this is or is not a real problem (or related to one) that you might be uniquely able to solve by leveraging your experience would be very interesting to hear.
Really?? It sounds like he was managing teams rather than being an IC..
Bootstrap 3 isn't just CSS, though the project author has stated they only use the grid system, so I don't see a security concern with that, just a maintenance one.

I'm deeply confused by your points and similar arguments I've seen in this discussion.

This is an actively maintained project with regular new releases, not some legacy product languishing in maintenance mode. We're discussing it because it was just on the front page of HN.

I find the arguments that the code doesn't need to be maintained, updated or modernized utterly bizarre.

Have you reviewed the source code?

I have.

It doesn't take very long to see that it diverges significantly from current best practices. The code base is difficult to follow, at best.

Would you argue also that the liberal use of global variables and functions throughout the framework is a good idea? And combining that with a home-grown routing and controller framework instead of using express or something similar makes sense?

It may have when this was originally written, but even I (with my NIH leanings) understand the benefits of using battle-hardenend libraries for core functionality, and the dangers of ignoring the module system and polluting the global namespace.

I'm not trying to nitpick flaws, my point is that the project as a whole needs to come up with a plan to update and modernize the code base moving forward.

With projects like node-red, supabase and Directus as competitors, allowing code to rot is going to prevent new adoption.

We're also not talking about some ERP that just needs to be "good enough" to get the job done.

This is a technical platform for technologists. To use to develop new products.

How can an argument supporting code rot possibly make sense here?

Are you going to select this framework for your next project in its current state?
Thanks! Fortunately I don't have any large resume gaps and a friend of mine has been giving me contracting work for his startup in seed stage. Hoping I can maybe get some equity and at least a moonlighting gig there. The market for both PM's and SWE seems wildly tilted towards senior roles. Which, to be fair, makes sense given a looming recession and the lower risk profile of senior engineers.
I'd say HN quality is way way better than Reddit, entirely due to the audience. Reddit is very much anti-knowledge, anti-solution, anti-reason whereas HN features intelligent discussions, often supported by facts.
"Pure" in this context means "without any extraneous and unnecessary elements".

Google has a few different definitions for the word "simple". I don't mean it in the following ways:

- easily understood or done; presenting no difficulty

- composed of a single element; not compound

I do mean it in the following ways:

- used to emphasize the fundamental and straightforward nature of something

- plain, basic, or uncomplicated in form, nature, or design; without much decoration or ornamentation

- humble and unpretentious

Keep in mind my comment was in the context of a discussion about postmodernism. I think that when compared with some of the more complex postmodern music, even the most virtuosic Bach pieces are simple. A couple examples:

This guy is incredible, I've been following him on Twitter since his Ueno days. An amazing designer and leader. One of my favorite projects he worked on was to literally build ramps all around Iceland: https://rampur.super.site/
I also don’t feel comfortable about that happening to me, and I am 44.
What's "really happening" is not in line with how it's being reported. It's being reported like the Tide Pod thing, which was (surprise, surprise) 99% made-up with a nugget of truth (which was not enough material to drive months of coverage, certainly) at the core, while news organizations pointedly failed to look into it (the actual news, to the extent there is any, isn't that teenagers were doing it—which barely happened—but that toddlers and old people with dementia eat them at many times the rate of what was happening in that not-actually-a-fad—but "people without full mental faculties sometimes consume cleaning products" isn't a story, it's just normal life).

Yes, of course fent is dangerous. Yes, if a kid finds a little in an AirBnB and ingests it, that could kill them. The angle the news is taking is largely bullshit, though, and it's bullshit very much on purpose, like all the other times this happens. They're not doing it to inform.

[EDIT] The most important aspect of how the media are covering this is probably that their focus is on stories (real or otherwise) that will tend to get the broad, dull middle class to support more import enforcement—not on coverage that might, say, tend to build support for proven harm-reduction like safe use sites w/ drug purity testing and distributing narcan more widely. Evidently, that stepped-up import enforcement largely stops other drugs—like asthma medicine. Which raises the very real possibility that this panic and the tone & shape it's taken—which, again, isn't promoting actual safety for the people most-affected by this—is driven, at least in part, by trade interest groups & their PR firms/departments.
The issue is simple: we need to stop emissions from individual mobility, no matter what. soon. it probably needs the ban first to build up enough political/economical motivation to solve subsequent problems.

"affordable cars" is way below "habitable planet" in my prio list.
It could also be some Russian opponent of Putin, maybe in business or someone like Nawalny.
Not in the US, except someone in the thread mentioned ATT has a carrier specific feature... which is interesting, but it's not universal.

You mentioned SMS... it's also annoying that RCS doesn't seem to support multiple clients/syncing of texts/voicemail/phone. I mean, you spent all that time developing/deploying the "next-gen" SMS and then just drop the ball.
I am getting more and more frustrated with all the things Apple thinks I want my computer to do.

At the point that you're opening up the laptop and chasing traces, you can do the same thing with Apple devices (with a bit more difficulty). It's not like they're made with rainbows and moonbeams. If you're at that level of paranoia (no judgement if it's justified or not) and have the skill to, just open up the Apple device and chase PCB traces. If you go down that route, iFixit's a good resource with lots of helpful pictures. (But still sometimes not enough.)
I understand where you’re coming from because our medical system IS lazy and DOES overprescribe, but the knee-jerky “pills bad” thing is frustrating for those of us who are necessarily on a lot of medications.

This cultural phenomenon has roots so deep that I’ve had actual medical professionals (usually nurses) tell me that I’m on too many pills. On a few occasions I’ve invited them to tell me which ones I should get rid of and, of course, they don’t know because all of the medications are currently doing something important.

It’s an attitude that mystifies me. Pharmaceuticals have side effects, do people think I want to take this stuff?
Same, and I can no longer recommend Signal to all my friends and family because SMS was the only feature that would make them consider it. Otherwise every one just uses WhatsApp.
Another study published in Nature Medicine linked the sugar substitute erythritol to higher rates of heart attacks and strokes

This study was discussed here last week:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34965453

Two sweeteners in particular, saccharin and stevia, worsened the participants’ blood sugar control

These are commonly-used; I wonder if my PCP will ever discuss / contact me in regards to this.
Do criminals and launderers not use Microsoft, Google or Amazon apps and services?
Caddy is nice, I've been playing around with it too and I love it. Perhaps we can port Lunni to use it, too.

Portainer is also cool – we're using it internally as an API, actually! I've been using it before starting Lunni and my only objection is the UI. Portainer is kinda like a Swiss army knife for containers, but with this power comes the complexity, too.

For example, to see service logs, you have to pick an environment, then go to Stacks, find your stack, find the service you need, open it and then you'll see the service logs button. In Lunni, you open your stack right from the dashboard and click logs button right beside your service name: https://u.ale.sh/lunni-screenshot-logs-button.png

Twitter acquired his company and kept him on as an employee. A lot of times founders end up having to coast because the buyer is still trying to sort out how to merge the tech. The founder is basically on garden leave/on-call tech support until a strategy is in place. Some never get there, vest a few years, and start a new company.
Preach. I resonate with all of this.
I'm sure that's a large irritant, but the complaints I hear about requiring an internet connection are usually around things like not being able to run the game without an internet connection (remember, there are huge numbers of people that don't have an always-on internet connection), being booted from the game should the connection drop (there are even larger numbers of people who don't have a reliable internet connection), and things like that.

I would never buy a game that requires an internet connection (especially always-on) for a whole bunch of reasons, including those. Ugly connection screens or taking an annoying amount of time to connect wouldn't be the deal-breakers for me, though, if the game were good enough.
> But studies suggest that fake sugars can also have unexpected effects on your gut and metabolic health and even promote food cravings and insulin resistance, a precursor to Type 2 diabetes.

I can’t help but think (other than being annoyed the studies aren’t linked right there) that it’s more of a correlation than causation that the artificial sweeteners are changing gut bacteria . Presumably you gut is adapt to high sugar intake, then all the sudden you’re not getting high sugar intake? Wouldn’t you expect these changes regardless of the artificial sweetener and wouldn’t the short term changes be basically a withdrawal from high amounts of table sugar which would be hard on the body in the short term but better off in the long term?
Signal won't stop spamming me for donations nor does the IOS version give me the ability to turn off notifications without displaying "Do you wish to turn on notifications" after x times of opening the app.
Clearly you should have compromised and hacksaw'ed out the usb jack + ftdi region of the board, thus satisfying both your desire to have something jankey and compact. You would even get free activity LEDs!
It really depends where you live. What's the pm 2.5 in your city? Mine isn't high enough to worry about outdoor pollution, and if it was I would move.

But people in high smog cities do wear masks. They have regular smog warnings too; people treat it like the weather. See this pre-pandemic article showing people wearing masks during a smog outbreak: https://www.ctvnews.ca/lifestyle/beijing-locals-don-colourfu...

For cars, I think the biggest factor is choosing a good filter and making sure it remains in good working order.
Sadly, because it makes a ton of sense. It's the same way Apple got so many to use iMessage. People on iOS generally doesn't realize that iMessage isn't SMS.

I really like Signal, but it's a niche thing for me. I have two friends who use it, familie is all on iMessage or SMS and SnapChat, that's it. Signal would make sense for those on SMS still, but convincing them to switch is going to be an uphill battle. Those on iMessage, why would they consider using Signal, when everything just works.
Musk reminds me of two quotes from movies I like. Patch Adams and The Social Network. I’ll try to paraphrase here:

“…you think you have to be a prick to get things done and that you actually think that’s a new idea.”

“You are not an asshole. You’re just trying so hard to be”
They've cancelled orders, denied access to the software betas, revoked investor access, etc already. So not entirely out of the realm of possibilities.
Ah, Lutz, original author of .NET Reflector. I didn't know he was into making games too.

Used to play this back in the day on my ZX Spectrum. It's such a simple concept but, if you're not paying attention, it's way too easy to accidentally squash yourself with a falling boulder. Also played the somewhat similar Repton on the BBC series of microcomputers.

Such a great game!
One thing you could do is work for an infrastructure-related company as a developer. Alternatively, if you work at a small company that doesn't have a dedicated infrastructure engineer, you'll still get plenty of chances to flex your infra muscles while still filling other roles and being close to the product.
A particularly frustrating variant of the 'piano wire' issue:

A redundant pair of devices, except cables have been run in such a way that if one device failed, you could not remove it from the rack without removing cables from the remaining device.

/facepalm
I will continue to use Signal. I refuse to use WhatsApp, instagram, Facebook... What am I missing out on? Hell if I care. Eventually if you want to communicate with me you will use the channels I require, otherwise so long. Really has helped me to pair down on useless long distance relations that offer nothing to my life other than obligation.
Maybe we ought to listen to the proverbial 10 year old, their ideas haven't been broken by cultural and societal "realities", and it's good to try to fix things & escape local maxima. Not everything needs to stay the same.
> This is asthma and cancer medication being seized because of an overly tight control of prescription drugs.

Actually, many of these are medications (even life saving ones) being seized to protect inflated pharmaceutical pricing and profits at the expense of poorer Americans (and those lacking health care). Significant numbers of people are ordering the medications out of desperation.
You would also run into a form of "type erasure" in most cases and would need a combinatorial explosion of methods unless the type system was able to 'decorate' the generic parameter with additional information.

e.g. imagine a `parseNonEmpty` and a `parseAllEven` method. Both take a list and return either a `NonEmpty` or `AllEven` type. If I call `parseNonEmpty` and get a `NonEmpty`, then pass to `parseAllEven`, I now have erased the `NonEmpty` as I'm left with an `AllEven`. I would need a `parseAllEvenFromNonEmpty` to take a `NonEmpty` and return a `AllEven & NonEmpty`.
It feels like the head of HR is asking elon for confirmation rather than having the information. In a well run company, you have institutional knowledge. In a dictatorship, all institutions are the dictator.
My personal 'musl broke it' story comes from resolving domains from Cloudflare that use DNSSEC in a K8 cluster. Basically this:

* K8 sets container to use `ndot:5`, causing the search list to be used
* Musl walks that search list looking for domain
* Cloudflare does not set the NXDOMAIN flag on a DNSSEC domain but does include an NSEC record (if you query with the dnssec flag).
* Musl takes this 'NOERROR' reply and returns an EAI_NODATA.

Is Cloudflare wrong? I don't know, maybe. They say some things about the standards[0] and that it's technically 'right'. I don't see why they couldn't change the behaviour for queries without the dnssec flag, but I digress.

The issue is that every other libc I tested will continue searching and actually resolve the domain. Musl is the odd one out, and _only_ in the case where the search list ends up with domain using Cloudflare and dnssec.

Even if Musl is 'right' here, when it disagrees with major implementations and a major DNS nameserver does it really matter?

I don't know if this is true of all types of fake sugar, but I've found that I can easily taste the difference in many cases, even when I'm not expecting it or looking for it.

Like the article says, it's often with food where I wouldn't expect to find artificial sweeteners, but there's a very distinctly odd, kind of sickly sweet taste that I'll notice sometimes; whenever I do, I check the ingredients label and always find fake sugar on the list.
