Obviously this is not convincing on a technical level yet. But it's also really interesting as a design.

And while the code isn't open source, I for one find it pretty fascinating to see the language being iterated on in public like this.

The pinch gesture on Vision Pro is pretty smooth and easy, about as much physical exertion as a mouse click. Right click is harder, I'd expect most app developers to do something similar to iOS and treat long clicks as right clicks but that's pure speculation.

I'd love to have an eye tracking setup though on a normal desktop computer where I could devote a keyboard key to clicking and I'd never have my hands leave the keyboard.
There is no a one for all alternative to Reddit. There are few promising tech as Lemmy or Kbin because they work with ActivityPub as Mastodon. What I have seen many don't like the free speech nature of ActivityPub and run away if they see a tech with an instance not of their liking.

But Reddit tipping point started because most of 3rd party clients are closing as Apollo, none of current alternatives have a good client as Reddit clients.

There are few centralized alternatives you can look up as Tildes, Lobsters and stacker news (focused on Bitcoin and Nostr).
i fully plan on using a keyboard with the vision pro, that doesnt make me any less excited for it

Do you think it'd be possible to make a shell script that anyone (running the same distro as you) could run to get all of this working? Alternatively just a readme detailing every single thing you did (and how you did it) would also make for an interesting read.

I would argue that just because something fits into the definition doesn't mean the thing is what the definition claims it is.

When Plato gave the definition of man as "featherless bipeds", Diogenes plucked a chicken and brought it into Plato's Academy, saying, "Behold! I've brought you a man"
Your truthful comment should be higher.
The CSS specification refers to roughly 50 documents describing CSS

https://www.w3.org/TR/css-2022/

Note it is a common structure for standard documents to be written like

"Dates are formatted like the ISO 8601 standard (which nobody has ever read because nobody thinks it is worth 166 swiss francs) except that instead of a four digit year it is a six digit year"

which is absolutely mind bending for people to understand. Maybe with LLMs we can merge a standards documents and 50 amendments into a single coherent document, a prospect I was thinking of attacking with knowledge graphs a few years ago.

Who cares. Eastern European countries are sovereign and can do as they please if they consider it to be in their national interest.

It goes both way. Trusting dictators under any circumstances is an exceptionally idiotic thing to do.

Also it might be hard to grasp however politicians in in charge to change every few years and beholding them to some “verbal promises” made by their predecessor is absurd.
> It's trivial to find people inside your echo-chamber being well-behaved --- this doesn't answer what a platform's moral responsibility is to society.

I am not a Republican, Tom Cotton is incredibly far away from anything which could be considered my "echo chamber", and I never claimed he was well-behaved.

I chose him specifically to make the specific and narrow point that even brazenly political actors were careful to explicitly distinguish between accidental/unintentional release and an intentional release; and also made clear that "intentional release" was the possibility they regarded as least likely. This was in response to the comment I replied to, whose author said "I never met anyone who didn't equate "lab leak" with an intentional act by china".

I think most people -- political leaders and otherwise -- are perfectly capable of distinguishing between "high-risk research goes tragically wrong" and "a bioweapon was released on purpose".

If anything, these hamhanded efforts (equating a prosaic "people and/or equipment messed up" scenario to "intentional release of bioweapon", making spurious accusations of racism, claiming that the case for a natural origin is ironclad, government agencies refusing to hand over relevant documents to Senators with the right to see them, etc) to censor discussion and impede investigation of the former has fueled incredibly noxious conspiratorial thinking.
More causes than an assault weapons ban. The harm of the COVID lockdowns, Zooming classes, social unrest and division over some real and some social media-induced idiocy, decline of the family, mental health issues, lax criminal prosecution, riots called 'peaceful demonstration', etc. I met a 24-year-old the other day and told them I was in Saudi Arabia and they asked me, "What's that? I never heard of that." I am raising a second set of children. My older children did great, even through some of this idiocy. I am very vigilent with my younger children. I have had a gun since I was eleven years old, and I grew up in Brooklyn, NY. I learned to shoot and handle firearms with respect and safety and shot competitively against the likes of West Point and other military schools and organizations. If you want strict gun control, highest camera surveillance, and police stop and search without suspicion, move to China or England (in the top 10 after China). I'll keep my right to bear arms. I don't keep a gun ready for home protection. I could get it ready in a relatively short time in case of societal upheaval or disorder, if needed, to protect my family. Better to have it than to not have it in those circumstances. 54% of all gun violence deaths are suicides. Another portion are police shooting criminals for self-defense or citizens protecting themselves against criminals. And most younger homicides occur in the 17 to 19-year-old age group due to gang violence. Mass shootings are horrific by their very nature, but not the norm. Stabbing deaths and injuries are more common in Europe than in the Americas[1]. And this is rising. China has no right to have firearms, but they do not share stabbings data. It is estimated to be high based on some news and data released, but cannot be verified.

It's an intuition based on a lifetime of watching dumb bureaucrats try to hide stuff and failing. But your logic is symmetric: where are all the successfully hidden conspiracies then? Obviously your response will be "we don't know by definition because they're hidden", which sorta makes your point non-falsifiable, doesn't it?

I'll put my money on bureaucrats being dumb over globalist nation state super autocracy every day.
I don't buy the criticism of Swift. Swift is not "Objective-C without the C". It's a new language with Objective-C runtime bits grafted on because they're necessary for the Apple ecosystem to transition to it. It's incorrect to think it's in any way intended to be a better version of Objective-C.
I feel for you man. I live in Brooklyn where I can meet all the weirdos I want (though the fact that we're so spread out makes having a 'community' hard sometimes). So I get why Reddit and its ilk would seem like the best available option. But if at all possible, I think moving to where your people are is going to scratch the itch more holistically.

It's changed so much in such a short time since the acquisition. The quality of responses that are boosted to the top are so poor that I frequently wonder just how those people get through the day. Not to mention that I constantly get notifications to subscribe to people who I've never once interacted with before. I've heard of BlueSky, do you know if it's any similar to the Twitter of the late aughts/early 2010s?
> I haven't seen any notable number of people arguing that the API should remain free no matter what

I haven't seen any notable number of people giving a counter offer to the proposal of Reddit. People "agree that it should not be free", but are unable to give any number of what they think it should cost. All we know is that the proposal, which averages at around $2.50 / user / month is "outrageous", bearing in mind that this allows to browse Reddit fully ad-free, denying them of that revenue stream.

I really don't know how people expect Reddit to make money; they apparently don't think the service is worth $2.50 / month, but they seem to forget that Facebook sells their data for 20x that amount.
anarchism is not leftism
I also wonder how much of ‘just in time’ / lean adoptions over the last 26 years might also play a part in potential negative effects.
I don't click without looking at my mouse pointer. I think it's possible eye tracking is just better than mouse/trackpad.
Animal fats also compost reasonably fine. I think most come from cheese that is milk fats or from meats. But none of those should be any issue either.
To be honest I don't completely agree. The business model itself is what makes thin interesting, not to users, but to creators. Take me for example, I write tech articles from time to time, and the occasional video, presentation, or coding live stream. As it stands I don't make any money on this, I just do it for fun. But with a site like non.io there's no reason for me _not_ to post my content there. As long as you get some publicity out there (like you're doing with this) creators should hopefully start contributing. And once the creators are there, so will the users be! I agree though that the splash page is a bit strange, maybe throw up a popup over the content for people who aren't logged in and haven't visited the site before? Or at least put this info in a sidebar. The business model is as you say the core value proposition here, so if people don't get it right away the interest could quickly fade.

Wish you the best of luck with this. And I'll look into posting my stuff on there as well, as I said there really isn't any reason not to
"Languages and their tooling ecosystems express how computing is concretely embedded and used by society. People adopt the tools to get jobs and to get the job done, whatever the "job" is. In turn the available remunerative jobs fit certain business models and markets."

This seems like the key thing. We've gone through something similar with operating systems where there hasn't been a ton of change for a very long time now. It seems like we've just hit the same part of the lifecycle with programming languages where change happens much more slowly.

Show HN: Run asynchronous calls against WebDrivers
Hello, I was recently looking for Python libraries that were capable of executing asynchronous commands in WebDrivers, such as ChromeDriver or GeckoDriver, but unfortunately none of them worked for me, so I decided to create my own library. Hence, Caqui was born.
I’ve managed to use it in another personal project to search for over 2,000 job openings on over 200 recruitment websites. I was able to reduce the time by at least 30% from the synchronous version to the asynchronous one just using 3 concurrent instances of WebDrivers. I still managed to create Caqui as an agnostic library that, in addition to executing commands in WebDrivers, still manages to run commands in Winium and test Windows applications without having to install anything additional. I’ll tell you a little more about it.

A few years ago I had done an experiment with Jmeter to test a Desktop application. I talk more about the experiment in this article, so I won’t go on too long here. But basically, the experiment was to run Winium commands remotely using REST API to test the Windows Calculator. I used this knowledge to make Caqui that can run commands not only on Winium, but also on WebDrivers, as described above. For this to be possible, it is necessary that the WebDriver be raised as a server and that its URL be used in your product, for example a crawler.

China's Underestimated AI Convening Power
Ok... I managed to pay. It might not have been working because I was entering my post code wrong, although I got no feedback from the UI about this.

Now I'm trying to make a post, but it similarly has gotten stuck as soon as I press the submit button.

(I figured out that I need to actually upload a picture, video etc and not just write a description. This was not clear and I got no feedback from the UI that this was the problem - instead it implied it was just waiting for something with the loading icon)
So people want a social media platform that has broad reach, high availability, (some) algorithmic curation, never ending content, moderation, first-class mobile support, but aren't willing to pay for it in any way (ads or subscriptions). This is precisely why I don't see anyone replacing Reddit. Niche communities will continue to exist and thrive on the internet but the mega social media aggregators like twitter, reddit, etc only seem to be viable (who knows for how long) with the same old business model: ads and VC money.
Facebook did not start as a competitor to MySpace. It started as a niche social network for universities, and then eventually branched off to be a competitor to myspace. By the time it did, it had already positioned itself as a unique product. That's quite different than say, people upset with Reddit over the Apollo situation looking for a Reddit clone with a better API policy, or people who like Blue Sky because it's "Twitter without Elon Musk".
iPad had lots of producer-esque features, so I’m not sure what you mean by that.
> instead of testing password length/number of characters, I look for overall entropy in the formula of [alphabet length for char set used]^(number of letters in password).

You should do none of this. It shouldn't be the websites concern if my account gets hacked - basic password requirements are fine, but anything that goes past a character count is just making the UX worse. The requirements increase friction, which you've already put at a high level due to requiring payment.
But of course it's going to provide more resistance. As you say, CCS was the obvious standard -- everyone (except Tesla) building a car was using CCS, and everyone (including Tesla) building chargers going forward was using CCS. You could buy a car with CCS and be confident you were buying the standard, well-supported thing. You could install CCS chargers in your garage, apartment complex, business parking lot, etc. and be confident that you were installing the standard, well-supported thing.

Now all that's up in the air. If you were planning to install chargers at home or in your business, it's not clear what kind you should install, so you just won't. If you were on the fence about buying an EV, it's now not clear whether your EV will be compatible with future chargers (without requiring a stupid dongle adapter that you have to haul around and pop out of your trunk every time you stop to charge), and you might just put that on hold.

(This is particularly egregious for Ford/GM, since their CEOs have announced that they think NACS is the path forward, and they make zero NACS cars and will not make any NACS cars until 2025. They just osborned their entire lineup, great move, real awesome strategy there.)

The uncertainty caused by backtracking from the vision of CCS as universal standard is awful, and may slow the EV transition by years. (But it's great for Tesla, inasmuch as a standards-compliant non-vendor-dependent charging network helps Tesla's competitors, and so slowing down that buildout makes Tesla stronger.)
There's also apparently other gestures and voice commands that can be selected in the settings, though I haven't seen any real detail on it other than "they're there".
Try cold brew coffee. I've found I can drink cold brew black and it's perfectly palatable, whereas that's never been the case with hot brewed coffee.

That's less true for communities that are focused on things that change over time. For example, TV show subreddits have plenty to talk about each time a new episode is released. Or maybe a better example, the Java subreddit has its share of "how do I dive into X" questions but also plenty of discussions about new and upcoming language changes.
Software quality has never mattered in web development. When the W3C tried to push XHTML web devs balked at the idea that they should understand markup languages and not have syntax errors.

JS is installed on every machine, you don't need to deal with IT bureaucracy getting apps installed or heaven forbid ports opened, and it'll never ever have anything less than the full backing of the browser developers. Even Brainfuck would be the dominant language with that feature set.

So long as that remains the case, as it will in my lifetime, nothing will change.

The owners of these companies are also the owners of this country.

Do you think the Democratic or Republican candidate gets the nomination and wins the presidency because they do what the people want? They get that nomination and win the presidency because they convince a small constellation of large companies to buy election advertising on their behalf in order to influence the outcome of the election for the candidate that each company in that constellation feels would serve their interests best.

So of course the House of Reps, Senate, and President are all going to support the biggest corporations - they don't want to spend their own money campaigning and they don't want to go back to a life where they don't have influence and aren't wined and dined for things.
It is huge news, in that a new story hits the news every few months.

A couple of days ago, a study showed one of the commonly-used sweeteners causes gut perforation.

A few months ago, they showed they disrupt gut microbes, leading to various inflammatory diseases and metabolic issues.

Yes, it's not just a headset/screen. In their words, a spatial computer. This coming with a new OS also signifies how they really want people to view it as a standalone product rather than a Valve Index which requires a PC to use.
I don't think "protected class" really gets you out of it.

Suppose you have a group dedicated to enforcing immigration laws. There are plenty of non-racist reasons to want to do this, but there are also racist reasons to want to do it, so racists may join that organization and support their goals. And then they'll turn around and be racists and say racist things and cause opponents to point at them as representatives of the organization.

But that kind of organization isn't a religion or a military with a chain of command that can excommunicate anyone or threaten them with a court martial if they don't stop being a racist. It's just a bunch of people who share the same goal for what may be very different reasons. So what is someone supposed to do to prevent their group from being labeled a "hate group" if all they want is to e.g. keep cheap labor from suppressing local wages?

Because it's the same problem the other way. If you're #MeToo and some of the "members" of your really not very centralized "organization" are man-hating extremists, you have no great way to expel them. So are you still in favor of collective punishment?
So the biggest issue you will find is that the standard virtualization platforms like VMware and Hyper-V aren't suited to this: Many games need support for extremely old DirectX versions and that generally isn't implemented for things like VMware especially prior to XP.

PCem is the one I've seen that seems ideal to the task, but I haven't had the time recently to experiment with the configurations for it.

The key distinction is that it actually emulates various legacy graphics and sound hardware that games may have been intended to run on.

If everyone chips in $1, and their $1 is split between all the things they’ve upvoted, isn’t the financial incentive to produce posts that are upvoted by people who don’t typically upvote? That actually seems like a pretty interesting incentive.
